Producer Information: Moët & Chandon

Moët & Chandon is based in Épernay, within the heart of France’s Champagne region. Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, the house quickly established itself as a leader in sparkling wine production, leveraging the unique terroir of Champagne’s chalky soils and cool climate. The winery employs traditional methods such as méthode champenoise for secondary fermentation in the bottle, ensuring fine bubbles and complex flavors. Their vineyards span over 1,000 hectares across premier cru and grand cru sites, allowing precise control over grape quality from harvest to bottling.

Beyond their flagship Brut Impérial Champagne, Moët & Chandon offers a diverse portfolio that includes vintage cuvées like Grand Vintage and rosé champagnes crafted primarily from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes alongside Chardonnay. The house is also part of LVMH’s luxury group, which connects it to other prestigious brands producing Cognac (such as Hennessy) and still wines from estates like Domaine Chandon in California and Argentina. This global reach allows Moët & Chandon to influence trends not only in sparkling wine but also across various premium beverage categories worldwide.
