Back in the '60s, Robert-Jean de Vogüé and friends decided to reinvent luxury sparkling wine by taking it global, launching CHANDON across Argentina, California, Brazil, Australia, China, and India. Now spanning four continents, they're basically the sunset chasers of the wine world, speaking the same bubbly language everywhere they land.
