Domaine Chandon

In the heart of the Yarra Valley, Domaine Chandon is the ultimate expression of Australian wine and heritage. This iconic wine estate, founded by the French Champagne house Moët & Chandon, is famous for its innovative approach to sparkling wine and sustainable winemaking. Here, French winemaking meets the cool climate of Victoria, and wine lovers and travellers can indulge in stunning views, beautiful landscapes and world-class wines. From award-winning sparkling wines at the Wine World Championships to gastronomic delights at the Chandon Greenpoint Brasserie, a visit to Domaine Chandon is a celebration of excellence and sophistication.

History

Domaine Chandon’s story began in 1986 when Moët & Chandon expanded its winemaking to the cool climate of Yarra Valley in Victoria. Chandon’s founders were drawn to the region’s diverse terroir and believed Yarra Valley could produce sparkling wines as good as those of Champagne. By using traditional French winemaking methods, Domaine Chandon quickly became a leader in sparkling wine. Today, the estate combines French know-how with Australian innovation and is a household name in the global wine industry. Domaine Chandon’s commitment to responsible farming and environmental sustainability is evident through its Living Soils, Living Together program which supports water quality, biodiversity and sustainable land management and is a key player in the Australian wine industry and the wider wine world.

Winemaking

Winemaking is an art form at Domaine Chandon, a discipline that balances tradition with innovation. By following the méthode traditionnelle, our winemakers create a range of sparkling wines with finesse and complexity. Each wine benefits from the Yarra Valley’s cool climate and the careful selection of grapes like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier so we can produce wines with a broad flavour profile. Domaine Chandon also celebrates the diversity of Yarra Valley wine production with both sparkling and non-sparkling wines, including Chandon Brut, Blanc de Blancs and premium reds. These wines are defined by a creamy texture, intensity and our commitment to quality. From our vineyard management to the wine shop’s selection of limited-release wines, every aspect of Domaine Chandon is about sustainable viticulture and premium winemaking — making it a highlight for visitors enjoying Yarra Valley Wine Tours.
