Moët & Chandon

Founded in 1743, this iconic Champagne house, located in Épernay in the heart of the Champagne, is the very symbol of luxury and sophistication in the world of Champagne.

The family's history goes back centuries, when Claude Moët laid the foundations of what would become one of the world's most famous Champagne houses. This history is punctuated by collaborations with royalty, artists and icons of history, propelling the house's renown to unparalleled heights.

Terroir is of crucial importance in the creation of its unrivalled Champagnes. Vineyards extend over hectares in the Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte des blancs regions, covering a diverse range of terroirs. These varied terroirs offer a palette of flavors that contribute to the complexity of the blends.

The grape varieties reflect the very essence of the Champagne region. The main grape varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, are cultivated with rigor and dedication, to create balanced, refined cuvées.

Manufacturing methods are a subtle marriage of tradition and innovation. Harvesting is carried out by hand to ensure meticulous selection of the ripest, healthiest grapes. Vinification is a veritable work of art, combining age-old techniques with modern advances to create Champagnes that embody both history and modernity.

The Champagnes are aged in stainless steel vats and bottles, where the cuvées slowly mature and develop their aromatic complexity. This prolonged ageing phase in the cellar gives the Champagnes their distinctive signature and elegance.

The eastern location in Épernay, in the heart of the Champagne, is of paramount importance. Épernay is the focal point of the Champagne region, home to immense cellars and offering an ideal environment for aging cuvées.
