The estate

Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a visionary wine merchant, Moët & Chandon quickly distinguished itself at the royal courts of Europe. His grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, helped spread the renown of this Champagne House internationally, making it an emblem of excellence and innovation in the art of Champagne.

Jean-Rémy Moët is also credited with the creation of the legendary Moët Imperial, crafted in tribute to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. A regular visitor to the estate, the Emperor is said to have introduced, together with his troops, the tradition of sabering bottles of Moët & Chandon to celebrate the brilliance of his victories.

Since joining the LVMH group in 1987, the House of Moët & Chandon has steadily continued to create remarkable cuvées, reflecting exceptional expertise and a constant pursuit of excellence.
