Since 1743, which is 270 years, the legendary Moët & Chandon has been the world's most beloved champagne. "For more than a quarter of a millennium," reads the grand Maison's website, "the goal has been to share the magic of champagne around the world." After all, the history of the house is closely linked to the fortunes of this incredible wine. In fact, towards the end of the 18th century, Jean-Rémy Moët, grandson of founder Claude Moët, became famous for introducing Champagne to the world, literally making the leading figures of the time fall in love with this wine. Of him it was said: "Just like his champagne, when Monsieur Moët entered a room, boredom vanished." The Marquise de Pompadour, for example, who was the mistress of King Louis XIV and one of the most powerful women of the time, said "Champagne is the only wine in the world that makes every woman beautiful." While the name of the most famous cuvée, the Moët Impérial is dedicated to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who visited the épernay estate several times and bestowed on Jean-Rémy Moët one of France's highest honors, the medal of the Légion d'honneur. Legend also has it that it was Napoleon and his troops who introduced the art of sabrage, opening Moët bottles with their swords to celebrate victory. Today, modern technologies, in the vineyard and in the cellar, combined with the best craft traditions, are a valuable ally in ensuring the legendary quality and style of Moët Champagnes. Finally, it should be noted that the great Maison of épernay was one of the first in the world to engage in sustainable viticulture to protect the environment.
