I particularly like champagne. Domaine Chandon is a classic champagne and sparkling wine producer. I have been satisfied with most of the wine I've had from them. My critique is based on the atmosphere of their tasting room in Yountville which caters to a pretentious and pompous crowd. I have been here many times and found that a majority of the tasting room visitors were obnoxious, uneducated about wine, but then still carried attitudes as if they did know what they were talking about.
This has caused me to lower the rating in this review than I normally would because my opinion of Domaine Chandon is lower because they do not seem to do anything to resolve this. It may be that they are actually targeting that market, one flush with deep pockets and a lack of sophistication.
It's too bad too, because their champagne is delicious.
