Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët in Épernay, France, Moët & Chandon has become a leading name in the champagne market. Jean-Remy Moët, a descendant of the founder, acquired the former Hautvillers monastery in 1794, where the monk Dom Pérignon developed his pioneering champagne production techniques. This was a decisive step that further cemented the quality and reputation of Moët & Chandon.

Links to historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, a close friend of Jean-Remy Moët, helped to promote the champagne during international campaigns and boosted its popularity worldwide. Moët & Chandon has always remained based in Épernay and has become synonymous with high-quality champagne.

1987 marked another milestone when Moët Hennessy merged with Louis Vuitton to form the luxury goods group LVMH, which is now known worldwide for its exclusive products.

The Bright Night Edition magnum bottle is the star of any party. This spectacularly luminous champagne bottle, with its strikingly illuminated base, was created to celebrate the vibrant nightlife. The champagne itself is made from a careful selection of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay grapes. After a suitable ageing period, the champagne is bottled in these eye-catching bottles and securely sealed with a natural cork.

The Marquise de Pompadour once summed up the essence of champagne when she said: ‘Champagne is the only wine in the world that makes every woman beautiful.’
