Moet & Chandon is one of the world's largest and most recognized champagne producers, founded in 1743 by Claude Moet in Epernay, France. The house holds a Royal Warrant and has a long association with historical figures, including Napoleon Bonaparte, who is said to have visited the cellars regularly. Jean-Remy Moet, grandson of the founder, expanded the company significantly in the early 19th century, and the Chandon name was added through a family marriage alliance. The company became part of Moet Hennessy in 1971 and subsequently joined LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate, in 1987. Moet & Chandon is headquartered in Epernay in the Champagne region, where it maintains approximately 28 kilometers of underground cellars, the largest in the region. The house owns over 1,200 hectares of vineyards, making it the largest landowner in Champagne. Its product range spans from the widely available Moet Imperial Brut to the prestige cuvee Grand Vintage collection. Moet Imperial, the house's signature non-vintage brut, is the best-selling champagne globally. The brand has maintained a prominent presence in popular culture, sports celebrations, and luxury events, serving as the official champagne of numerous high-profile ceremonies and festivals. Moet & Chandon also produces the prestige cuvee Dom Perignon, though Dom Perignon operates as a distinct brand. Bottles of Moet Imperial Brut typically retail above $40, with vintage and special editions priced higher.
