Winemaker Notes:
This wine offers the balance and elegance that has become Chandon's hallmark style. When you taste Brut Classic, look for nutty flavors with hints of brioche that build to a refreshingly dry finish. The wine delivers complex apple and pear characteristics accented by citrus spice over notes of almond and caramel in the bouquet.
Chandon California Brut is great with anything salty, creamy or nutty. It's particularly fond of shellfish, crab, oysters, fried chicken, and Caesar salad.
Critical Acclaim:
91 points - Tasting Panel
"Ripe, succulent nose; smooth, lush, and rounded with a dense, fruity style. Rich, elegant, and long with depth and considerable finesse."

"COMMENTARY: I tasted and retailed the first release of the Chandon Brut in December 1976. I had visited Domaine Chandon's offices in Yountville before the winery existed. I think the winery was called M&H Company, but I'll have to refer to my earliest notebooks if my notes still exist. Domaine Chandon Yountville marked a new direction for the world of California sparkling wines, and the industry has never looked back. The Chandon Brut is steady as it has always been. TASTING NOTES: This wine is subtle, fresh, almost complex, and perfect. Its aromas and flavors of dried herbs, tart fruit, and chalk would be a beautiful way to start dinner. Pair it with a raw seafood bar or just enjoy it by itself. (Tasted: July 18, 2020, San Francisco, CA)"

"This easygoing sparkler is a delight to sip, with appealing honeysuckle, apple and roasted nut tones, ending with a brisk finish. Drink now."
90 points - Decanter
"A classic traditional method style showing a good balance of nutty, toasty notes alongside ripe stone and red fruits. Rich and complex."
90 points - Wine Enthusiast
"Toasty, buttery aromas and a rich palate of peaches and vanilla give this forward wine plenty to savor. A creamy mouthfeel goes nicely with the generous flavors."
90 points - James Suckling
"Red apple, lemon rind and some brioche character. Smooth bubbles and pleasant, fresh acidity helps balance the generosity here, giving a vibrant feel. Not complex, but delightful. A blend of chardonnay and pinot noir. Bottled in March 2021. Drink now."
89 points - Vinous
"The NV Brut is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Uco Valley. Yellow in hue. The fruity nose offers notes of lemon zest and ginger and hints of green apple and wild thyme. In the mouth, the bubbles are fine, the mousse gentle and the freshness moderate, while fruity flavors appear toward the end along with an enlivening malic touch. The sugar is 10g/L and alcohol is 12.2%."
