Moët & Chandon, a story of elegance and innovation

Moët et Chandon began as Moët et Cie (Moët & Co.), established by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët in 1743, and began shipping his wine from Champagne to Paris. The reign of King Louis XV coincided with increased demand for sparkling wine. Soon after its foundation, and after son Claude-Louis joined Moët et Cie, the winery’s clientele included nobles and aristocrats.

Following the introduction of the concept of a vintage champagne in 1840, Moët marketed its first vintage in 1842. Their best-selling brand, Brut Imperial was introduced in the 1860s. Their best known label, Dom Perignon, is named for the Benedictine monk remembered in legend as the “Father of Champagne”. Moët & Chandon merged with Hennessy Cognac in 1971 and with Louis Vuitton in 1987 to become LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy), the largest luxury group in the world, netting over 16 billion euros in fiscal 2004. Moët & Chandon holds a Royal Warrant as supplier of champagne to Queen Elizabeth II.

In 2006, Moët et Chandon Brut Impérial issued an extremely limited bottling of its champagne named “Be Fabulous”, a special release of its original bottle with decorative Swarovski crystals, marking the elegance of Moët et Chandon. Today The Champagne house owns 1,150 hectares (2,800 acres) of vineyards. It is the biggest domain in the Champagne region, and annually produces approximately 28 million bottles of champagne.

Lively and generous, Brut Imperial distinguishes itself by a bright fruitiness; a seductive palate and an elegant maturity, that continually seduce and delight. Its aromas are radiant, revealing bright white-fleshed fruits, citrus fruits, floral nuances and elegant blond notes. The palate is seductive, richly flavoured and smooth combining generosity and elegance, fullness and finesse, followed by a delicately fresh crispiness, to reveal the magical balance of champagne. The flagship of Moet & Chandon since 1869, Brut Imperial is the most accomplished and universal expression of its style. Moët Impérial is the House’s iconic champagne.  It embodies Moët & Chandon’s unique style, a style distinguished by its bright fruitiness, its seductive palate and its elegant maturity.
