Chandon Étoile Brut

Product Description

Chandon Étoile Brut: Prestige Sparkling Wine from Los Carneros

Chandon Étoile Brut is the California producer's prestige cuvée, made for drinkers who appreciate traditional-method sparkling wine with extended lees aging and layered character. CHANDON crafts this wine from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier grown in its Los Carneros estate vineyard near San Pablo Bay.

The blend combines selected lots from the current harvest with reserve base wines from earlier vintages. After secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine spends a minimum of five years aging sur lie. That patient process contributes complexity, fine bubbles, and the rounded texture that distinguishes Étoile within the CHANDON range.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Ginger, baked apple, brown spices, brioche, and honey.

Palate: Layered orchard-fruit and bakery notes are carried by fine bubbles and a velvety, balanced mouthfeel.

Finish: Lingering, elegant, and complex.

Food Pairings

CHANDON recommends rich or creamy dishes, making Étoile Brut a versatile partner for raw oysters, caviar, seared scallops with beurre blanc, crab cakes, poached salmon, creamy cheeses, or apple and pear desserts. Its acidity and persistent bubbles can refresh the palate alongside seafood and buttery sauces.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well chilled in a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine glass or white-wine glass to give the aromas room to develop while preserving the mousse. It works as a celebratory aperitif, but its depth and extended lees aging also make it suitable throughout a meal.
