Moët & Chandon is the most famous name in Champagne, and probably the bottle most people picture first. It is the largest house of all, with a style that is crisp, dependable and built for a celebration, yet serious enough to reward a proper cellar.
A house built in Épernay since 1743
Claude Moët began trading wine from Épernay in 1743, and the family firm grew into the giant that now sits along the Avenue de Champagne. The signature Champagne here is Moët Impérial Brut, a non-vintage blend drawn from more than two hundred separate wines, leaning on Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir for body with Chardonnay for lift. The house is now part of LVMH and ships tens of millions of bottles a year, which is why the style stays so consistent.
The Moët & Chandon range: Impérial, Rosé and Dom Pérignon
Moët Impérial Brut is the everyday benchmark, all green apple, citrus and a hint of brioche. Grand Vintage is the vintage-dated bottling, made only in years the cellar judges worthy, with more depth and a longer life. Rosé Impérial brings red-berry fruit and suits the table. At the top sits Dom Pérignon, the prestige cuvée the house has owned since 1927 and one of the great vintage Champagnes anywhere. To look wider, our full sparkling wine selection and the rest of France are a natural next step.
