Moët & Chandon (French: [mɔɛt‿e ʃɑ̃dɔ̃]),[1] also known simply as Moët, is a French fine winery and part of the luxury goods company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Moët et Chandon is one of the world's largest champagne producers and a prominent champagne house. Moët et Chandon was established in 1743 by Claude Moët, and today owns 1,190 hectares (2,900 acres) of vineyards, and annually produces approximately 28,000,000 bottles of champagne.[2]

History

[edit]

Moët et Chandon began as Moët et Cie[1] (meaning "Moët & Co."), established by Épernay wine trader Claude Moët in 1743,[3] and began shipping his wine from Champagne to Paris. The reign of King Louis XV coincided with increased demand for sparkling wine. Soon after its foundation, and after son Claude-Louis joined Moët et Cie, the winery's clientele included nobles and aristocrats.

In 1833, the company was renamed Moët et Chandon after Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, Remy Moët's son-in-law, joined the company as a partner of Jean-Remy Moët, Claude Moët's grandson.[4]

Following the introduction of the concept of a vintage champagne in 1840, Moët marketed its first vintage in 1842. Their best-selling brand, Brut Imperial, was introduced in the 1860s. Their best known label, Dom Perignon, is named after the Benedictine monk remembered in legend as the "Father of Champagne". The brand was owned by Champagne Mercier but was given to Moët in 1927.

Moët & Chandon merged with Hennessy Cognac in 1971 and with Louis Vuitton in 1987 to become LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy), the largest luxury group in the world, netting over 16 billion euros in fiscal 2004. Moët & Chandon was holding a royal warrant as supplier of champagne to Queen Elizabeth II.[5][3][6]

In 2006, Moët et Chandon Brut Impérial issued an extremely limited bottling of its champagne named "Be Fabulous", a special release of its original bottle with decorative Swarovski crystals.

Dom Pérignon

[edit]
Main article: Dom Pérignon (wine)

Dom Pérignon (/ˌdɒmpɛrɪˈnjɒn/; French pronunciation: [dɔ̃peʁiɲɔ̃]) is a brand of champagne produced by Moët & Chandon. It is named after Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who was an important quality pioneer for Champagne wine but who, contrary to popular myths, did not discover the champagne method for making sparkling wines.[7] Dom Pérignon was the first prestige cuvée, an idea proposed by Englishman Laurence Venn.[8] The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936. It is a vintage champagne, meaning that it is only made in the best years, and all grapes used to make the wine are harvested in the same year. Many champagnes, by contrast, are non-vintage, meaning that the champagne is made from grapes harvested in various years.

Current production

[edit]
Bottles in the caves

Around 5 million bottles are produced in each vintage.[8] The wine is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot noir, with 6 g/L dosage.[8] According to Tom Stevenson, "All vintages need at least 12 years ageing to nurture Dom Pérignon's signature silky mousse".[8] As of 2020, the current release of Dom Pérignon is from the 2010 vintage[8] and the current release of Dom Pérignon Rosé is from the 2006 vintage. As of 2017 the senior winemaker was Richard Geoffroy, who has been chef de cave for Dom Pérignon since 1990.[9]

Domaine Chandon

In 1973, the then Moët-Hennessy company founded Domaine Chandon, an outpost winery in the Napa Valley. It was the first French-owned sparkling wine venture in the United States. The fine dining restaurant étoile was located at the winery, until it closed in December 2014.[10]

Chandon had already founded an outpost in Argentina in 1959, and was doing the same in the southern city of Garibaldi in Brasil in 1973.[citation needed] Domaine Chandon was later established in 1986 in Australia in Coldstream, Victoria, in the Ningxia region in China in 2013 and India's Nashik region in 2014.[citation needed]

Its wines, crafted primarily from , , and grapes using the traditional méthode champenoise, continue to grace high-profile events as the official champagne of the NBA and numerous royal occasions, underscoring its enduring status in luxury and festivity.

History

Founding and early development

Moët & Chandon traces its origins to 1743, when established the wine trading firm Moët et Cie in , , focusing on both still wines and the emerging sparkling champagnes from the Champagne region. As a visionary merchant, Claude Moët recognized the potential of these wines beyond local markets, initiating exports that elevated the house's profile among discerning consumers. Claude's strategic shipments to and the royal court at Versailles quickly garnered acclaim from European royalty and nobility, including the influential Marquise de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV, who favored the house's offerings for their quality and finesse. This early success laid the foundation for Moët's reputation as a purveyor of luxury wines, with the firm's cellars in becoming a hub for innovative blending techniques that enhanced the effervescence and elegance of its sparkling products. The , beginning in 1789, posed significant challenges to the burgeoning enterprise, as upheavals in society and the seizure of noble and church-owned properties disrupted trade networks across Champagne. The founder's son, Claude-Louis Moët, passed away in , just as the Revolution intensified, but his grandson Jean-Rémy Moët assumed leadership and adeptly navigated the turmoil by maintaining a discreet profile, allowing the house to preserve its operations intact while competitors faltered. Post-revolutionary shifts toward a new elite class ultimately amplified demand for symbols of celebration and sophistication, propelling Moët's exports to royal courts and affluent circles throughout . Jean-Rémy Moët, building on his grandfather's legacy, further expanded the firm's reach by enhancing production capacity and forging international connections, which transformed Moët into a global emblem of festivity by the late . Although the foundational innovations originated in Claude's era, Jean-Rémy's stewardship paved the way for milestones like the house's first vintage-dated champagne in 1842, underscoring the enduring family commitment to excellence in sparkling wine production.

Expansion and family legacy

In 1833, following the retirement of Jean-Rémy Moët, his son Victor Moët partnered with his brother-in-law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles to formalize the company as Moët & Chandon, marking a pivotal merger that strengthened its operational structure and . This union combined the Moët family's established expertise with Chandon's financial and managerial acumen, enabling rapid scaling of production and distribution networks across . The not only solidified the house's position in the Champagne trade but also emphasized intergenerational family collaboration, with Victor and Pierre-Gabriel steering the business through the burgeoning demand for sparkling wines. During the , Moët & Chandon pioneered innovations in style to cater to evolving tastes, particularly introducing the concept of -dated champagnes in 1840 and releasing their first in 1842, which laid the groundwork for drier expressions. By the mid-century, the house shifted from sweeter wines toward a drier brut profile to appeal to the , where preferences leaned toward less dosage; this adaptation culminated in the creation of Brut Impérial in 1869, but the trend began earlier with experimental drier cuvées in the and . These changes reflected strategic product innovations driven by family oversight, enhancing the brand's international appeal and setting standards for modern Champagne styles. The 19th century saw significant infrastructural expansion, including the construction of expansive chalk cellars in starting in the early 1800s and accelerating through the mid-century, which by spanned vast underground networks capable of aging millions of bottles under stable conditions. Concurrently, the family aggressively expanded vineyards, acquiring key plots such as those at Hautvillers Abbey in the early 1800s and amassing approximately 360 hectares by the early 20th century, bolstering grape supply amid growing output demands. The house also recovered from the epidemic in the late 19th century through grafted replanting efforts. These developments, funded and directed by the Moët and Chandon families, transformed the house into one of Champagne's largest producers, employing up to 1,600 workers and outputting two to three million bottles annually by the late 1800s. Family leadership transitioned smoothly from Jean-Rémy Moët to Victor and subsequent descendants, with the Chandon line providing continuity through the late ; notably, women like Madame Victor Auban-Moët played supportive roles in management and philanthropy, contributing to community initiatives such as hospital funding that underscored the family's legacy. By the early , under figures like Robert-Jean de Vogue from the extended family, the house navigated recovery and operational challenges while maintaining familial control. However, severely disrupted production, with the front-line location leading to significant reductions in output—as cellars doubled as soldier shelters and vineyards suffered bombardment and labor shortages.

Acquisition and modern ownership

In 1971, Moët & Chandon merged with the cognac house to form Moët Hennessy, establishing a powerful wines and spirits entity that combined expertise in sparkling wines and brandy production. This union laid the foundation for broader corporate synergies, enabling enhanced distribution networks and innovation in luxury beverages. The company's trajectory shifted dramatically in 1987 when Moët Hennessy merged with to create Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, the world's leading conglomerate. Under 's umbrella, Moët & Chandon benefited from the group's vast resources, accelerating its global expansion through integrated marketing, retail presence in over 150 countries, and strategic investments in production infrastructure. This integration transformed the house from a prominent Champagne producer into a cornerstone of the luxury sector, with annual production surpassing 30 million bottles by the mid-2020s. Entering the , Moët & Chandon prioritized amid growing environmental pressures on the Champagne region. Since the , the house has implemented comprehensive initiatives, including sustainable certifications across its 1,300-hectare vineyard holdings and partnerships with over 2,000 growers to promote and reduce chemical inputs. These efforts align with Moët Hennessy's broader "Living Soils" program, which has certified 25% of its vineyards in sustainable practices by the early 2020s. Key milestones in recent years underscore this commitment.

By 2025, the house has advanced its response to through the Natura Nostra biodiversity program, launched in 2021, which targets 100 km of ecological corridors by 2027 and incorporates techniques. This includes trials with resilient hybrid grapes and historic vine cuttings to combat rising temperatures and maintain quality in the face of evolving conditions in Champagne. Today, Moët & Chandon remains fully integrated within LVMH's Wines and Spirits division, operated through Moët Hennessy, which oversees a portfolio of prestigious brands. The maison is led by President and CEO Sibylle Scherer, appointed in 2023, who guides its strategic direction amid the division's recent leadership transition—Philippe Schaus concluded his 21-year tenure as Moët Hennessy CEO in February 2025, succeeded by Jean-Jacques Guiony.

Winemaking process

The winemaking process at Moët & Chandon begins with the grape harvest, which typically occurs in September and involves manual picking to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. The grapes are then gently pressed using pneumatic presses, extracting only the first pressing juices—known as the cuvée—to preserve purity and avoid bitterness from later fractions. Following pressing, the base wines undergo separate vinification in tanks, a technique pioneered by Moët & Chandon to maintain freshness and control. is systematically performed to soften acidity and enhance roundness, contributing to the house's signature balanced style. The blending stage, or assemblage, is central to non-vintage cuvées like Moët Impérial, where oenologists select and combine over 100 base wines from different vintages, crus, and varieties to achieve consistency and . Reserve wines, comprising 20-30% of the blend, add maturity and depth. The blended wine then undergoes tirage, initiating secondary in the bottle via the traditional méthode champenoise, where and sugar are added to produce . Bottles age on lees for 2-3 years for non-vintage expressions, imparting richness and finesse through autolysis. After aging, bottles are riddled—gradually rotated and tilted over weeks to consolidate sediment toward the neck—before disgorgement, a precise manual or automated expulsion of the lees plug while minimizing wine loss. The final dosage, a liqueur d'expédition of wine and cane sugar, is added to define the cuvée's style; for example, Brut Impérial receives about 8-9 g/L for subtle dryness. Quality control integrates advanced technology, including AI-driven systems for real-time fermentation monitoring implemented across Moët & Chandon wineries since the early 2020s, ensuring precision and batch consistency.

Brand identity

Pronunciation and nomenclature

Moët & Chandon is commonly pronounced in English as "moh-ET and shahn-DON," with a distinct "t" sound at the end of Moët, distinguishing it from typical French pronunciation rules where final consonants are often silent. This pronunciation reflects the Dutch origin of the surname Moët, as the brand's founder, , was born in but bore a name with non-French roots that retained the pronounced "t." In French, the name is articulated similarly with a hard "t" in Moët due to the liaison with "et," resulting in a sound closer to "mwet ay shahn-dohn." A frequent mispronunciation in English-speaking contexts is "moh-ay," omitting the "t" and treating it as a purely French name, which overlooks its etymological background. The etymology of "Moët" traces directly to (1662–1750), the 17th-century wine trader who established the house in 1743; his surname's Dutch heritage explains the phonetic emphasis on the final consonant. "Chandon" originates from Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles (1798–1878), a French banker and son-in-law of Jean-Rémy Moët, who became a partner in 1833 and co-led the expansion of the business. The nomenclature evolved from the original "Moët et Cie" (Moët & ), used since the house's founding in 1743 to denote its status as a trading firm, to "Moët & Chandon" in 1833 upon Chandon's partnership, formalizing the dual family legacy. The "&" has remained a consistent element in the branding, symbolizing the merger of the two families, and persists in the modern as a hallmark of the brand's identity. In global markets, particularly non-English ones, the name adapts to local phonetic conventions while preserving the core structure; for instance, in Asian regions, it is often simplified in advertising to align with regional languages without altering the official French-Dutch inflection.

Visual branding and heritage

Moët & Chandon's visual branding has evolved significantly since its founding in 1743, beginning with a simple black script logo that emphasized the house's name in an elegant, handwritten style typical of 18th-century luxury goods. By the 19th century, the branding incorporated more ornate elements, including a gold label introduced in the 1830s to signify prestige and quality, which became a hallmark of their premium cuvées like Impérial. The iconic red ribbon, tied around the bottle neck, emerged as a key feature in the mid-19th century, evolving from a simple tie to a elaborate bow by 1889, symbolizing celebration and tying into the brand's association with victory and festivity. The packaging design reinforces this heritage through distinctive elements, such as the dry neck —a sleek, minimalist foil that contrasts with the opulent main , first prominent on the Dry Impérial cuvée from the late . Gift boxes often feature custom engravings on bottles or wooden casings, allowing while maintaining the brand's luxurious aesthetic, a practice promoted through official gifting services. In the , sustainability initiatives updated the packaging, including the introduction of recyclable, plastic-free foil caps made from aluminum and paper in 2024, reducing the by 31% compared to traditional plastic alternatives without compromising the elegant design. Central to the brand's heritage symbols is the motif, which appears on labels and packaging to represent excellence and aspiration, possibly inspired by the —known as Napoleon's Comet—though its use predates the event and aligns with the house's pursuit of stellar quality in champagne production. The cellars in , a spanning 28 kilometers of chalk tunnels, serve as branded tour destinations where visitors experience guided explorations highlighting the aging process and historical artifacts, reinforcing the maison's legacy of craftsmanship. In 2025, Moët & Chandon advanced its digital branding through its renewed partnership as the Official Champagne of Formula 1, featuring interactive online maps to track brand presence at Grand Prix events and special podium bottles, blending heritage motifs with modern celebratory experiences.

Controversies

In the 1990s, Moët & Chandon, through its U.S. distributor Schieffelin & Co., pursued trademark protection for its brand against imitators. In Schieffelin & Co. v. Jack Co. of Boca, Inc. (1994), the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of Schieffelin, finding that the defendant's "Dom Popignon" popcorn product infringed on Dom Pérignon's federally registered trademarks for "CUVÉE DOM PÉRIGNON" and its distinctive shield label design. The court determined a substantial likelihood of consumer confusion due to the phonetic and visual similarities, granting a preliminary to halt sales and reinforcing Moët & Chandon's rights to the Dom Pérignon name, which had been in use since 1936. During the 2010s, Moët & Chandon intensified efforts against counterfeiters, particularly in , where fake luxury wines proliferated. A notable case involved Moët (the parent entity) suing auction house Acker Merrall & Condit in Hong Kong's High Court over the 2012 sale of counterfeit Krug Collection 1947 champagne, a rare vintage from Moët Hennessy's portfolio. The auction house admitted and , leading to a 2017 settlement that included damages, an apology, and commitments to authenticity verification protocols, underscoring Moët & Chandon's global anti-counterfeiting strategy amid China's estimated 50% fake wine market for premium bottles. In 2024, Moët & Chandon prevailed in a Japanese trademark dispute when the canceled the "CLUB MOET" mark for services, citing a likelihood of confusion with the "Moët & Chandon" brand due to phonetic and visual similarities, including a element. This decision highlighted ongoing efforts to protect the brand in international markets. The formation of through the 1987 merger of Moët and proceeded without significant antitrust litigation, though it faced regulatory scrutiny under French and European laws due to the combined dominance in luxury spirits and . Internal executive disputes over control emerged shortly after, but no formal antitrust challenges disrupted the $4 billion deal, which was approved by shareholders and regulators, enabling expanded resources for Moët & Chandon. In recent years, Moët & Chandon has navigated IP challenges in digital realms, including NFTs. In March 2025, faced a patent infringement lawsuit in federal court from Watch Skins Corp., alleging unauthorized use of patented NFT display technology in smartwatches. Concurrently, Moët Hennessy filed U.S. applications in 2024 for "Moët & Chandon" and "" in metaverse and NFT contexts to preempt infringement in virtual spaces. No major legal disputes have arisen over its 2025 Formula 1 sponsorship, a 10-year partnership valued at over $100 million annually. These disputes highlight Moët & Chandon's proactive legal defenses, resulting in successful injunctions, settlements, and enhanced global registrations that have strengthened integrity against dilution and counterfeiting.

Notable incidents

During , Moët & Chandon's operations in Épernay were significantly disrupted by German occupation, with the company's cellars sequestered and used to store looted champagne and military supplies. The house's director, Robert-Jean de Voguë, played a key role in the , coordinating efforts to German shipments and protect stockpiles by mislabeling bottles or hiding them in underground tunnels. This resistance activity led to arrests within the company after German intelligence uncovered the network, though de Voguë survived deportation and the house avoided total destruction. In 2022, Moët & Chandon faced a major quality and safety crisis when multiple batches of its Ice Impérial champagne were found contaminated with (ecstasy), leading to a voluntary across . The adulteration, believed to stem from unauthorized tampering during distribution rather than production, affected limited-edition 3-liter bottles sold at high-end retailers, resulting in one and at least 12 hospitalizations from acute . The company responded swiftly by issuing public alerts through authorities, coordinating with retailers for returns, and emphasizing rigorous quality controls in subsequent statements, with no evidence of long-term reputational harm as sales recovered in following quarters. In May 2025, labor strikes at LVMH's Champagne houses, including Moët & Chandon, highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities amid job cuts and wage disputes. Workers in protested planned reductions of up to 1,200 positions in the wine and spirits division, disrupting production and logistics during a period of economic pressure from declining sales. These actions occurred shortly after Moët & Chandon's renewed partnership as Formula 1's official champagne provider, though the company maintained event supplies through contingency measures and transparent communication with unions, avoiding major interruptions to high-profile deliveries.
