Moët & Chandon, also known simply as Moët, is a French fine winery and part of the luxury goods company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Moët et Chandon is one of the world’s largest champagne producers and a prominent champagne house, frequently referenced in music, literature, and film as a testament to its cultural legacy. Moët et Chandon was established in 1743 by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët as Moët et Cie, who began shipping his wine from Champagne to Paris. The reign of King Louis XV coincided with increased demand for sparkling wine, and as the company rapidly expanded his son Claude-Louis joined the company, helping establish a significant clientele base among nobles and aristocrats in France and beyond. In 1833 the company was renamed Moët et Chandon after Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, Remy Moët’s son-in-law, joined the company as a partner of Jean-Remy Moët, Claude Moët’s grandson. 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,” and was acquired from Champagne Mercier in 1927. Moët & Chandon merged with Hennessy Cognac in 1971, and in 1973 they founded Domaine Chandon, an outpost winery in the Napa Valley and the first French-owned sparkling wine venture in the United States. Another merger occurred with Louis Vuitton in 1987, making them LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy), the largest luxury group in the world. Moët was the official Formula One champagne provider between 1966 and 1999, and today owns 1,190 hectares (2,900 acres) of vineyards, annually producing approximately 28 million bottles of champagne.
