A wine connoisseur with a history of trading in reputable Epernay, it was this man who created the house much later in 1743, and his son who would go on to blaze a new trail through the growing culture of luxury Champagne.

One fact, though, marks the House of Moet and Chandon as different from the rest: the size of their operation. Running the most expansive vineyard anywhere around – one with an enormous 1000 hectares of carefully cultivated land – every single grape is as gently looked after as the next, making this House one of the most experienced when it comes to offering both quality and quantity.
