To share success and glamour with the world has been our inspiration, our passion, and our raison d’être for nearly 3 centuries.”
The legendary Moët & Chandon celebrates 280 years. For over a quarter of a millennium, the renowned French producer has been sharing the magic of champagne worldwide. Every glass overflows with the iconic values of the House: history, generosity, savoir-faire, success, boldness, and elegance — values that remain at the core of its global appeal.
By the end of the 18th century, Jaen-Remy Moët, grandson of founder Claude Moët, became famous as the man who introduced champagne to the world. Important figures of the time, from the Marquise de Pompadour to Talleyrand and Napoleon, quickly fell in love with the House’s effervescent wine. Moët & Chandon soon became the icon of success and elegance that it remains to this day.
From Napoleon’s conquests to royal weddings, from Hollywood’s most dazzling event, the Oscars, to its most exclusive private parties, we are devoted to honoring success.
The Marquise de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV of France, one of the most powerful women of her time and a highly influential tastemaker, helped make our champagne the wine of choice throughout Europe’s royal courts. Inspired by her love of Moët & Chandon, she declared: “Champagne is the only wine in the world that makes every woman beautiful.”
