New Delhi: Moët Hennessy announced today the launch of its sparkling wine – Chandon, in New Delhi. Chandon is the first offering from Moët Hennessy Estates and Wines to be produced in and especially for India. It will be available in two variants: Chandon Brut and Chandon Brut Rosé. Both sparkling wines have been created from grapes grown in the Nashik region. Chandon Brut is made from Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Chandon Brut Rosé is made from Shiraz and Pinot Noir.

The wines will retail at INR 1,200 for Chandon Brut and INR 1,400 for Chandon Brut Rosé, and will be available at select wine retailers, hotels, restaurants and bars in the city.

Moët Hennessy has invested in a state-of-the-art green field winery in Dindori, a sub-region of the Nashik district known for growing high-quality grapes. Chandon has been created by Moët Hennessy Estates & Wines’ team of international and local wine-makers and viticulturists, closely working with grape growers from the Nashik region. The wines have been crafted combining the finest local grapes with the centuries-old “méthode traditionelle” to ensure the signature Chandon style.

Chandon reiterates Moët Hennessy’s commitment to India, its faith in developing local excellence and the company’s belief in the role it can play in transforming the nascent wine market.
