The Estate

Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a visionary wine merchant, Moët & Chandon quickly won favour with the royal courts of Europe. His grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, helped establish the international renown of this great Champagne House, making it a symbol of excellence and innovation in the Champagne region.

Jean-Rémy Moët was also the creator of the legendary Moët Imperial, crafted in tribute to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. A regular guest at the estate, Napoleon is said to have established, with his soldiers, the tradition of sabering bottles of Moët & Chandon to celebrate the glory of his triumphs.

Since joining the LVMH group in 1987, the House of Moët & Chandon has steadfastly continued to craft exceptional cuvées, reflecting unrivalled expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality.
