Producer Information

Mot & Chandon, based in the so-called “Champagne capital” of pernay, is easily the most famous house in the Champagne region. It is one of the largest too, comprising 1150 hectares (2850 acres) of estate vineyards plus more from growers, 28km (17 miles) of cellars and a production capacity of 60 million bottles a year.The house was founded by Claude Mot in 1743. However, his grandson, Jean-Remy Mot, is credited with having brought Champagne to a wider audience and, by the 19th Century, the house was recognized both domestically and internationally.In the 1970s and ’80s, Mot & Chandon expanded its empire beyond Champagne, partnering first with Cognac house Hennessy and then with fashion giant Louis Vuitton, forming the well-known luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Mot Hennessy often referred to simply as LVMH.
