THE HISTORY OF MOET ET CHANDON

The company's history is marked by a tradition of quality and innovation.

Founded by Claude Moët in 1743, the House became very famous towards the end of the 18th century, thanks to Jean-Remy Moët, known as the man who introduced champagne to the world.  He became particularly famous thanks to his friendship with Napoleon Bonaparte, who visited the house on several occasions.  

Throughout the 20th century, Moët & Chandon continued to grow, becoming one of the world's leading champagne houses.

Moët & Chandon has been behind many innovations in the world of champagne. In addition to Dom Pérignon, it launched the famous Moët Impérial cuvée in 1869 as a tribute to Napoleon. Today, Moët Impérial is one of the world's best-selling champagnes.  

Today, the house is owned by LVMH and the cellar master is Benoît Gouez.

MOET IMPERIAL 

The Moët & Chandon style is singular: bright fruit, a savory palate and elegant maturity, the result of a slow, gradual progression from vineyard to cellar.

Moët & Chandon is renowned for its exceptional champagnes, in particular its emblematic Moët Impérial.
