one of the most popular
Champagnes produced

the world. It is so
popular in fact that
a Moet Champagne cork
pops every second
somewhere in the World!
There are over 2,000,000
cases of Moet Champagne
produced each year
meaning there is over
24,000,000 750ml bottles
of Moet Champagne
(view other Champagne
Bottle Sizes).
Moët
et Chandon was established
in 1743 by founder
Claude Moet and due
to ancestors of Claude
Moet who had been
made nobles by King
Charles VII in 1446
the Moet name already
had prestige attached
to it. It was Claude
Moets grandson, Jean-Rémy
Moët, who was the
person who transformed
Moet Champagne into
a symbol of splendor,
pleasure and prestige.
Moët Champagne is
a supplier of Champagne
to Queen Elizabeth
II and the Royal Family
and holds a Royal
Warrant which allows
them to advertise
that they supply the
Royal Family. With
such prestige it is
little wonder that
Moët Champagne is
world renowned and
hugely popular.
Moet Champagne comes
from the Epernay region
of France and they
use Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,
Pinot Meunier grapes
to produce their champagne.
Underneath Moët &
Chandon headquarters
in Empernay, Champagne
(region), is a network
of chalk cellars that
goes on for 28 kilometers,
this is where the
Moët Champgane is
aged to perfection.
So looking back over
the history and heritage
of Moët it is easy
to see why Moët Champagne
gifts are so popular.
