One day back in 1968, as Robert Jean de Vogue at the time President of Moet & Chandon, was attending a distributors' conference in California, he inadvertently found himself in the wrong room. Members of the Wine Institute of California were gathered there, discussing, and tasting. The wrong room turned out to be the right room. An idea was born: CHANDON would again lead the way as the first champagne house led sparkling outpost in the USA. Today, CHANDON California, as part of LVMH - Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, pushes the limits of the state of the art to produce sparkling wines that are US market leaders.
