The winery has vineyards located in several Napa Valley appellations including Los Carneros AVA, Mt. Veeder AVA, and Yountville AVA. Domaine Chandon makes both sparkling and still wines made from Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot Meunier, the traditional grapes used in the production of Champagne.
It is difficult to over-state the importance of Domaine Chandon at the time of its founding, which was only a few years after one important milestone — the opening of the Robert Mondavi winery — and three years before another — the famous “Judgement of Paris” wine tasting. Chandon was the first French-owned sparkling wine producer in the U.S. and a strong statement about both the potential of California to make quality wines (at a time when many Americans still doubted this) and the confidence of the French that Americans would drink them!
One of the reasons for Chandon’s big impact is that the winery was conceived as something more than just a production facility. A destination winery was constructed to allow the story of the wines and their makers to be told effectively (more than 250,000 visitors now come to the Yountville facility each year).
