Chandon Étoile Rosé

Chandon étoile embodies our commitment to crafting the finest sparkling wine in America. Elegant and rich with layers of fresh plum, raspberry and nutmeg, our étoile Rosé showcases our ultimate effervescent expression of Sparkling Rosé.

FOOD PAIRINGS

The understated power of étoile Rosé makes it an excellent foil for the richness found in foie gras or chicken liver paté. It would be a natural accompaniment to salmon, trout or duck confit.

WINEMAKING

One of the most popular wines we produce, étoile Rosé is a blend of our top lots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made in a dry style. It ages for at least five years, resulting in a wine that is structure, refined, layered, and complex.

SUSTAINABILITY

At Chandon California, we take the responsibility of caring for the land seriously, grateful for its vital role in creating our wines. We’re committed to sustainable farming practices that consider the entire ecosystem, from the vines on which our grapes grow to the other plant and animal life in our environment.

By approaching our ecosystem as a whole, we ensure that we not only will be able to continue to grow the grapes for our award-winning wines, we’ll be able to maintain the quality and character of our terroir into the future.

Not all of the grapes we grow at Chandon California require the same amount of water. We gather precise information on the level of water in the soils and use this data to make sure every drop of water we apply is needed. In seasons when natural rainfall is low, we adjust the farming operations to reduce water consumption in the vineyards. This way, the vines can continue delivering the grape quality needed with less water consumption and evaporation from the soils.

Starting with a holistic approach we have been able to reduce fertilizers to a minimum. We utilize other crops (called cover crops) in the off-season to maintain soil fertility and avoid erosion from winter rains. Composting has also helped us “build” our soils, making them rich in organic matter and nutrients, which results in a better capacity to hold water. This helps our soils hold more water and keep more nutrients to enrich our vines.

We’ve even completely eliminated the use of synthetic herbicides in our vineyards. And the benefits aren’t just good for our lands. They’re good for our wines.
