Bodegas Chandon was
established in Argentina in 1959 – the first Moët & Chandon subsidiary
founded outside France. In 1898 Terrazas and a winery in the heart of
Perdriel, province of Mendoza were restored.
The wine-making history of
Mendoza dates from 1557 when Spanish immigrants started planting vines.
Today, Mendoza province accounts for 70% of total quality wine
production.
Terrazas has the largest
vineyard landowner in Vistalba, Argentina's prime district for Malbec
production.
