moet & chandon can trace its history back to 1743 when it was established by claude moet in 1743. it is now part of the massive lvmh group and is by far the largest house in champagne, producing a staggering 24 million bottles a year and with nearly 30 kilometres of cellars to mature its stocks.
quality at moet & chandon has improved hugely under the auspices of master blender, richard geoffroy, who brought a silkiness, finesse and elegance to the wines that they were previously lacking. moet's chief winemaker is now georges blanck.
moet & chandon brut imperial has for many years been the world's best selling non-vintage champagne and is consistently soft, fresh and very well balanced. the vintage brut imperial is one of the best value vintage champagnes on the market, while the firm's top cuv, dom pignon, is one of the greatest champagnes in the world.
moet & chandon now has outposts in spain, california, brazil and australia, where it produces very high quality sparkling wines sold under the green point label.
