English
Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a visionary who quickly earned the favor of European courts, Moët & Chandon became an international icon under Jean-Rémy Moët. Legend has it that Napoleon Bonaparte himself popularized the sabering of Moët bottles to mark victory celebrations.
Today part of LVMH, Moët & Chandon continues to produce exceptional cuvées, combining time-honored craftsmanship with a spirit of innovation. The Brut Impérial, created in 1869, is blended from more than 200 individual crus and perfectly expresses the diversity of Champagne terroirs. Balanced and refined, it showcases a harmonious interplay of fruitiness, freshness, and subtle complexity.
