While Domaine Chandon feels like a huge corporate winery and is lacking some of the Napa charm, we had a very nice experience there. We took a tour as part of our wine train experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed the way they poured the tastings as the tour went on. The sparkling wine (NOT Champagne) was also a nice break from the copious amounts of wine we had ingested at the other wineries. The whole place had a "get you into the gift shop to spend more money" feel, especially as they didn't actually have vines at any point of the tour, but the tasting itself was enjoyable. It would be nice to have a less Disney World of Wine feel, particularly with the visitor center, but it was a worthwhile stop in the area.
