The Moët house was founded in 1743 in Épernay by Claude Moët, a counselor from Reims who, within a few years, managed to have his champagne exported to more than half of Europe. His son, Jean Rémy, was the true driving force behind a brand that by the end of the century was not only Napoleon's favorite but also that of all the royal houses of the Old Continent.
Currently, Moët & Chandon belongs to the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy group, along with Dom Pérignon, the legendary champagne that Moët has been producing since 1921. Both brands are associated with luxury, glamour, and exclusivity, despite the fact that today the house produces nearly 26 million bottles. Moët & Chandon is, without a doubt, the maison that shines the brightest on Épernay's historic Avenue de Champagne.
