The success of Moët & Chandon champagnes is the result of the talent of its winegrowers and strict control at every stage of production, from cultivating the vines to aging the wine.
Moët & Chandon owns nearly 1342 acres of vineyards, cultivated and maintained by 250 winegrowers. A single hectare requires more than 750 hours of meticulous care. For over two centuries Moët & Chandon has been the leading winegrower inthe Champagne region
In 1734, Jacques Fourneaux, a merchant of champagne wines, established the company that would some day become Taittinger.
In that early part of the XVIIIth century, the Benedictine abbeys of Hautvillers, Pierry, Verzy, and Saint-Nicaise in Reims, owned the best vineyards in the Champagne region. They cultivated the vines and pressed the harvest to produce the first sparkling wines which they either sold themselves, or through agents in Epernay or Reims.

The quality of Château Lafite Rothschild needs no introduction. As early as 1815, Abraham Lawton had already designated it as leader: “I ranked it as being the most elegant and delicate, with the finest body of the three (leading wines)” he qualified in 1855. As to Château Lafite traits shared by all vintage years, it was an enlightened amateur that summed it up best by saying “...whatever the case, all the Château Lafite wines have an almond and violet aroma!” |
