Answered by Rodney Landry

Chandon Orange is a delightful and refreshing cocktail that combines the exquisite craftsmanship of CHANDON sparkling wine with the bold and aromatic flavors of an artisanal -orange . This unique blend creates a truly exceptional drink that is perfect for any occasion.

The base of Chandon Orange is the CHANDON sparkling wine, which is known for its high quality and exceptional taste. As a sommelier, I have had the pleasure of tasting and experiencing the artistry that goes into creating CHANDON wines. The careful selection of grapes, the precise fermentation process, and the dedication of the winemakers all contribute to the outstanding quality of CHANDON sparkling wine.

To enhance the flavor profile of Chandon Orange, a specially crafted bitter-orange liqueur is added to the sparkling wine. This liqueur is made from locally sourced fresh herbs and spices, which adds a depth of flavor and complexity to the drink. The use of orange peel in the liqueur provides a bitter aromatic note that perfectly complements the crispness of the sparkling wine.

The oranges used in creating the bitter-orange liqueur are handpicked and ripe Valencia oranges. These oranges are known for their vibrant color and juicy sweetness. By using only the finest oranges, the bitter-orange liqueur captures the essence of the fruit and infuses it into every sip of Chandon Orange.

When I first tried Chandon Orange, I was immediately struck by the harmonious combination of flavors.

It is a truly refreshing and invigorating drink that can be enjoyed on its own or as a delightful accompaniment to a meal.

One of the things I appreciate most about Chandon Orange is its versatility. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif to stimulate the palate before a meal, or as a celebratory drink to toast to a special occasion. Its vibrant and effervescent nature makes it a wonderful choice for summer gatherings or outdoor events.
