Our Vintage Brut Rosé is crafted using fruit exclusively from our estate vineyards in Strathbogie, Whitlands and the Yarra Valley. Having full control over all the fine details of our vineyards, block by block, row by row, gives us the precision and best expression of Australian sparkling wine grapes. Layer all this with our French heritage and know-how, and it becomes possible to produce a vintage release which shows the personality of each season, all within the Chandon Maison style.

 

96 POINTS - THE REAL REVIEW, STUART KNOX

 

"Lingering for an age, it stays seamlessly complex and dry throughout the experience. A serious wine that will lift even further as an accompaniment to food.

 

TASTING NOTES
TASTING NOTES
Pale pink, with peach skin hues and very fine bubbles. Classic Pinot Noir stone fruit aromas, peach and background cranberry notes in the foreground, in the background fresh dough and biscuit characters derived from long yeast ageing. In the mouth, there is a sense of finesse and delicacy. Pinot Noir fruit characters of red berry and ripe peach are on display, with some grapefruit in the background very fine acidity completes the picture, with length of flavour.
WINEMAKING
WINE MAKING
Harvest began in mid-February in the Yarra Valley and a little later in March for the more elevated Strathbogie and Whitlands Plateau. The grapes from each site were pressed and fermented separately to ensure the unique characteristics of each parcel of fruit was retained. Importantly, the grapes were pressed in the vineyard, minimising the time between harvest and pressing, to protect the delicate aroma and minimise phenolic extraction. Each individual cuvée was then selected for its diverse varietal flavours, balanced structure and palate length. Following tirage and secondary fermentation, Chandon Vintage Brut 2016 spent over 36 months ageing on yeast, an essential part of the méthode traditionnelle process. Approximately 3% Pinot Noir red colour base was added to give the wine it’s delicate pink blush.
FOOD PAIRING
Food Pairing Notes
Whether you're serving up a charcuterie board or a selection of share plates, our Vintage Rosé is a versatile chameleon that effortlessly enhances the flavours of a range of dishes, while adding a touch of brightness and depth.
