Mo?t et Chandon is a French winery famous for its champagnes. It is also co-owner of the luxury goods company Mo?t-Hennessy. It was founded in 1743 by wine trader Claude Mo?t, who began shipping2 his wine from the Champagne1 region to King Louis XV in Paris. In the late 18th Century, the winery teamed up with Benedictine monk3 Dom Perignon who had created the special double fermentation process for creating champagne. Today, the company produces around 26 million bottles of champagne a year. In 1970, Moet bought the fashion house Christian4 Dior – the first of its luxury brand acquisitions. A year later it merged5 with the cognac producer Jas Hennessy & Co. to create Mo?t-Hennessy. The group then merged with Louis Vuitton to form the LVMH Group, which contains over 60 prestigious6 brands.
