The champagne house Moët & Chandon

Equally, in 1936, the  champagne house introduced  a prestige cuvée called ” Cuvée Dom Pérignon ” for the first time. In addition, the Moët & Chandon champagne house is located in the champagne town of Epernay. And, it was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. His son-in-law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon joined the company in 1832 and the name was changed to Moët et Chandon.

In addition to the well-known Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial, we have other champagnes from Moët & Chandon in our range. Each variant has its own identity, taste and specific characteristics. Moët & Chandon Champagne owes its harmonious taste to the perfect balance between the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varieties. Grape varieties that complement each other perfectly. The cuvées contain a significant portion of reserve wines, which are well-matured wines from older vintages.

“What does Brut Impérial mean?” we are often asked. Well, the name has historical significance. Impérial is the French word for imperial. While the Pommery champagne can be called royal because it was delivered to the French royal family, the Moët & Chandon champagne got its nickname in Napoleonic times. Emperor Napoleon I liked to use his return journey after his victories in the East to stop off at Jean-Remy Moët and shower his victories with champagne. The tradition of sabering , the opening of the champagne bottle with a saber, which the victorious officers liked to perform, also dates back to this time  . Napoleon was a big fan of Brut Champagne, which is why it can still be called imperial today.
