Moët & Chandon
The headquarters of Moët & Chandon, the world's largest champagne brand by volume. Its 28 km of chalk cellars once hosted Napoleon.
Founded in 1743, Moët & Chandon is the world's largest champagne brand by production. The house had close ties with Napoleon, and its “Impérial” cuvée commemorates that history. Tours take you through about 28 km of underground cellar galleries, where you can learn about blending and secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by a tasting. A tasting package starts at about 40 euros and must be booked in advance on the official website. The house is at the start of Avenue de Champagne, and a statue of Dom Pérignon stands at the entrance.
