Domaine Chandon is a winery located in Yountville, California, situated within the Napa Valley AVA. Established in 1973 by Moët et Chandon and managed for more than two decades by entrepreneur John Wright, it holds the distinction of being the first French-owned sparkling wine producer in Napa Valley.
The winery launched its restaurant at the same time, initially under the direction of chef Udo Nechutnys, followed by Philippe Jeanty, who later founded Bistro Jeanty in Yountville. The dining establishment was renamed Etoile in 2006 but ceased operations in December 2014 to allow for an expansion of the tasting room.
Vineyards managed by Domaine Chandon are spread throughout various Napa Valley appellations such as Los Carneros AVA, Mt. Veeder AVA, and Yountville AVA. The winery crafts both sparkling and still wines utilizing classic Champagne varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot Meunier.
Domaine Chandon is part of an international group that includes sister wineries located in Mendoza, Argentina; the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia; Brazil; and Ningxia, China.
