MORE ABOUT MOET ET CHANDON

Established in 1743 Moet and Chandon is based in Epernay boasting 500 hectares of vineyards which yields a yearly production of 26 million bottles. In 1972 Jean Remy Moet took control of the House of Moet which had founded by his grandfather some 49 years before. Despite difficulties in finding adequate supplies of grapes during the Revolution the House flourished and grew further during the Napoleonic era.

The concept of vintage Champagne made of exceptional grapes from the same year was introduced in 1840 with Moet producing their first vintage Champagne in 1842. The words "dry" and "sec" to indicate dryness (see our Types of Champagne section) first appeared on Moet labels in 1856. This was as a response to the British market who wanted a dry Champagne to drink with their meals.

By the beginning of the 20th century, Moet & Chandon was one of the major houses, due to their excellent collection of vineyards. Moet and Chandon continued to grow and in the 1960s produced 10 million bottles a year (out of a global production of 70 million).

Moet & Chandon has grown to the point where it has the largest vineyard holdings in the Champagne business. They have rows of blending tanks which each have a capacity of 6000 hectolitres (about 780,000 bottles) the total capacity of all the tanks is a massive 300,000 hectolitres. Despite their size Moet and Chandon continue to ensure that care and precision goes into the making of each Champagne, ensuring that their name remains synonymous with quality.
