Moët & Chandon once again began welcoming visitors to its cellars after a year of renovation work.
The 1,190 hectares of rich limestone soil, 50% of which is classed as Grand Cru and 25% Premier Cru, make up the largest vineyard area in Champagne, France. Underground, the Moët & Chandon cellars (the wine and spirits division of the LVMH group) are the most extensive in the region. Extending more than 28 kilometers, they form a subterranean labyrinth where the wine metamorphoses under optimum conditions of humidity and temperature. After a full year of renovation, Moët & Chandon cellars in Epernay are again open to visitors.
The renovation done by Moët & Chandon brings the ancient cellars in line with current standards and at the same time preserves this internationally-recognized heritage site. Sites along the famous “avenue de Champagne” recently joined the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Visitors experience a complete immersion into the history and heritage of Moët & Chandon, discovering both the cellars and historic salons. The tour features the Cour d’Honneur, the Imperial Gallery and the Salon Jean-Rémy, named in homage to the grandson of Claude Moët, founder of the House.
Moët Hennessy, the largest luxury wine and spirits company in the world, encompasses 21 prestigious brands internationally renowned for the quality of their land, craftsmanship and products: Hennessy, Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Dom Pérignon, Ruinart, Krug, Mercier, Belvedere, Glenmorangie, Ardbeg, Chandon, Newton, Cheval des Andes, Terrazas de los Andes, Cloudy Bay, Cape Mentelle, Numanthia, Wenjun, Château Cheval Blanc, Château d’Yquem and Clos des Lambrays.
