CHANDON INDIA
MAISON

Nashik, in the Western Ghats mountain range, is where you’ll find the youngest Chandon sibling.
India is our wild card and our latest new frontier.
In 2010, Tony Jordan, Chef winemaker at Chandon Australia set off to learn about India’s emerging viticultural regions, from Bangalore in the south to Himachal Pradesh in the north. India has no long wine tradition, no terroirs with centuries of form. Its climate is tropical, with fierce summers and torrential monsoon rains.
Tony Jordan finally homed in on a terroir around Dindori, Nashik, 200km northeast of Mumbai. The first grapes – Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – were bought in February 2011 and vinified in rented equipment and tanks at a local winery. Chandon India was officially launched with the release of the first cuvées in January 2014, and our winery was opened in April 2016.
