The company's history dates back to 1742, when Claude Moët (1683-1760) began exporting wine from Champagne to Paris. In 1794 Jean-Remy Moët (1758-1841) bought the former Abbey of Hautvillers, where the monk Dom Pérignon refined the production techniques for champagne, and Moët soon began to export it to other European countries and to the United States. Jean-Remy Moët met Napoleon Bonaparte in 1781, when he attended the military school of Brienne-le-Château in Champagne, and became friends with the then unknown Corsican boarding-schoolboy, who himself came from a family of winegrowers. During his later campaigns, Napoleon always kept a supply of Moët's champagne, and he planned his trips so that he could regularly come to Epernay and visit his friend Moët. The era of the Napoleonic wars made champagne known throughout Europe, notably Napoleon's favorite Moët brand. In the 1950s, Robert-Jean de Vogue, a prominent wine critic, became head of the house. In 1963 Moët & Chandon took over the traditional house Ruinart, and in 1971 the producer Mercier, which is mainly active on the French market, was bought. In the same year, the merger with the cognac producer Hennessy took place. In 1987, Moët Hennessy then joined with Louis Vuitton to luxury goods group LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) together. The partner brought the house Veuve Clicquot into the marriage. At the end of the 1990s, the small but exclusive Krug house was acquired.
