Chandon has launched the Chandon Spritz collection, a new line of ready to serve Spritzes that marks one of the most ambitious product innovations in the Maison’s history. The result of six years of research and 179 tries, the collection introduces a new way to enjoy sparkling wine that meets the demand for lighter, more flexible drinking occasions.
The Collection and How It Was Made
The Chandon Spritz collection features three distinctive recipes crafted from organic citrus, red fruit, flowers, plants, and spices. The classic Orange Peel & Spices arrives at 11.5% ABV, while two new additions, Berries & Hibiscus and Lemon & Verbena, come in at just 6% ABV, achieved without the use of de alcoholization. Each is ready to pour directly over ice, no mixing required. The collection was created by an all female creative trio: Chandon chefs de caves Ana Paula Bartolucci and Pauline Lhote, joined by Buenos Aires based mixologist Ines de los Santos, founder of Cochinchina bar, ranked among the World’s 50 Best Bars in 2025.
Winemaking Meets Mixology
The technical achievement at the heart of the collection is the ability to lower alcohol content significantly without stripping the liquid of flavor or resorting to de-alcoholization, a process that often compromises taste. The collaboration between Chandon’s winemaking team and a world-class mixologist represents a genuinely new model for how sparkling wine houses can approach product development.Â
Arnaud de Saignes, President of Chandon, said, “We naturally set out to create a collection of Spritzes for our consumers that’s innovative, flavorful and carefully crafted by our community of winemakers. Combining our decades of sparkling-wine prowess with exceptional mixology know-how, we’re carrying on our continuing quest for exciting natural flavors.â€
Why This Launch Matters
The ready to serve format and the lower ABV options speak directly to two of the most powerful shifts in global drinks culture right now, the demand for convenience and the rise of mindful drinking. By launching at 6% ABV through in depth technical research rather than de-alcoholization, Chandon is staking out a premium position in a growing segment that most sparkling wine brands have yet to credibly enter. For LVMH’s wines and spirits portfolio, it is a timely reinforcement of Chandon’s pioneering spirit, a brand that has been redefining what sparkling wine can be since 1959.
