This week we have a special interview with none other, Kevin Lei. We talked about how he started planning experiences and well… the Chandon took over and we talked about literally EVERYTHING!!!

About Chandon: 

VINEYARDS Sourced from high-quality, cool climate Northern California appellations, with harvest taking place at night to capture Chandon’s signature freshness and brightness. 

VINIFICATION After gentle pressing, primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by 80% malolactic fermentation. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle via the méthode traditionelle. 7% of the blend is skin macerated Pinot Noir red wine, giving this rosé its signature flavors and beautiful shade of pink. 

TASTING NOTES Charming, lively, and bursting with strawberry, raspberry, and red currant aromas and flavors. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel balances a vivacious intensity perfect for everyday enjoyment with your #chandonsquad 

FOOD PAIRING Versatility is the name of the game: barbecue, grilled burgers, duck fat fries, paella, smoked salmon, and not-too-sweet desserts. 

DID YOU KNOW? The red wine for Chandon’s rosés is made using a unique process called short skin maceration - extracting color and flavor from the grape skins without extracting bitterness.

APPELLATION California 

ALCOHOL 12% D

OSAGE 10 g/L
