Domaine Chandon NV Brut Pinot Noir (Napa-Sonoma)

Editors' Choice

Price $30

Just delicious, a fascinating counterpoint to the winery’s ’01 Brut Chardonnay, with which it was coreleased. Shows a beautiful Pinotesque weight, with a cherried edge to the lime and yeast flavors. With a grand cru texture, this is really one of the best Chandon bubblies of recent memory. — S.H. (12/1/2007)

Domaine Chandon NV Étoile Brut Sparkling (California)

Price $35

From the pale straw color to the delicate citrus and honeyed aromas, this wine strives for elegance and finesse and largely achieves it. Light but suggesting strawberries and limes. Dry, with a rich, creamy texture. Really stands out for elegance and harmony, and finishes on a slightly bitter-almond note. — S.H. (12/1/2000)

Domaine Chandon 2001 Etoile Rosé Sparkling (Mendocino-Napa-Sonoma)

Price $34

Released at the same time as Chandon’s 2000 Etoile, this is built along the same elegant, classic lines, but it’s younger, fresher and, being a rosé, quite a bit richer in fruit. In fact, it’s extraordinarily delicious, a mélange of sorbets ranging from raspberry, cherry and peach to lime and vanilla. The finish is crisp and clean. Should hang in there through the… — S.H.

Domaine Chandon 2003 Ramal Road Reserve Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Price $45

The winery’s regular Pinot, which was released at the same time, is a light, fruity wine. This one’s darker, deeper, more ominous. It’s a controlled explosion of black cherry, mocha, spice and char in the mouth, enormously attractive and sensual. — S.H. (12/15/2005)

Domaine Chandon 2000 Mt. Veeder Single Vineyard Blanc de Blancs Sparkling (Mount Veeder)

Editors' Choice

Price $45

Rich as sin, and packed with white peach and vanilla flavors, this dry wine shows the finesse, lightness and elegance of a Chardonnay-based sparkling wine. The mousse is creamy, the finish long and decadent. Will be lovely with cracked crab and sourdough bread. — S.H. (12/31/2005)

Domaine Chandon NV Reserve Brut Sparkling (Napa-Sonoma)

Editors' Choice

Price $24

Delicate, refined and very dry. This is one of the more elegant bruts around, with a silky mouth feel and very fine texture. Seems to float in the mouth, with gentle lime and vanilla flavors. — S.H. (12/31/2004)

Domaine Chandon NV Étoile Rosé Sparkling (California)

Price $40

It’s pale for a rosé, with just the slightest onion-skin or copper color, but the 47% Pinot Noir shows up in the raspberry flavors that fill the aroma. It’s there in the flavors, too, which are rich in strawberries as well as Chardonnay’s peach and apple ones. Yet it’s quite dry and racy, and finishes with some bitterness. — S.H. (12/1/2000)

Domaine Chandon NV Reserve Sparkling (Sonoma-Napa)

Editors' Choice

Price $24

Way smoother and creamier than Chandon’s other nonvintage bubblies, this is a Pinot Noir-based brut with elegance and finesse. The delicate flavors carry hints of limes, strawberries and roasted nuts, accented with leesy dough and smoky oak. — S.H. (12/1/2003)
