When a House has two names in its title, it's usually fair to assume that that title is one formed of diverse and intriguing history. The House of Moët and Chandon do not disappoint in this respect or any other, and their history is one born of a supreme nature that very few other houses even remotely come close to.

1446 was the year when it all started. It was in this period of time that Jean and Nicholas Moët were praised by King Charles VII. But it was when Claude Moët – a descendant of the two brothers – entered the picture that things really changed for good.
