History[edit | edit source]
Moët & Chandon was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a wine trader. He started shipping his wine from Champagne to Paris. The company was then known as Moët et Cie (Moët & Co.), and it became Moët & Chandon after Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, Remy Moët's son-in-law, joined the company in 1833.

Moët & Chandon produces a large variety of champagnes, including:
- Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage: A vintage champagne that is released only in exceptional years.
- Moët & Chandon Imperial: The company's flagship product, a blend of more than 100 different wines.
- Moët & Chandon Rose Imperial: A romantic expression of the Moët & Chandon style, a style distinguished by its bright fruitiness, seductive palate, and elegant maturity.
