Everything started in Epernay when, in 1743, a wine merchant named Claude Moët, opened his Champagne house, and began its production under his own name. Epernay is a thoughtfully chosen location. This town, capital of Champagne, is covered by kilometers of tunnels and cellars, and welcomes hundreds of Champagne houses: visit Moet & Chandon, visit Champagne Mercier, visit Champagne Pol Roger, … But it is only since his son, Jean-Rémy Moët, took the lead in 1792 that the house knew a real development and started its rise straight to success. Jean-Rémy Moët and its descendants will keep this key word in mind and won’t stop to build the brand within this creative and innovative dynamic.

Like his champagne, Mister Moët never showed up in a living room without chasing away the boredom
Comme son champagne, Monsieur Moët ne se montrait jamais dans un salon sans en changer l’ennui
Moët champagne was pretty appreciated by the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his companies. In 1814 Jean-Rémy Moët got rewarded by Napoleon to the Légion d’honneur, the highest honor decoration in France. According to the legend, it is thanks to Napoleon and his troops that we now have the tradition of cracking open a bottle of champagne with a saber.
I cannot live without Champagne. If I win, I deserve it; If I lose, I need it
Je ne peux vivre sans champagne. En cas de victoire, je le mérite ; en cas de défaite, j’en ai besoin
It is in 1833 that Pierre-Gabriel Chandon, the son-in-law of Jean-Rémy Moet, joined the house. Thus was born the worldwide famous brand: Moët & Chandon.
Starting from there, the house has grown, grown and grown again. With the commitment of keeping on and highlight its innovative and sharing spirit, the house created multiple “champagne traditions” which are, nowadays, internationally known and practiced.
Such as:
Nowadays, the Great House of Champagne Moët & Chandon and its 12 000 hectares vineyards impose itself as the uncontested Champagne leader in the world. Each year, the house sells more than 25 000 000 bottles: their Champagne, especially the “Brut Imperial” cuvée, is the world’s best-selling and will keep this ascendance crescendo. Also, it seems impossible not to talk about the great cuvée of vintage champagne Dom Perignon. Moët & Chandon house was the first one to bottle this famous champagne.
