The Moët & Chandon champagne house, headquartered in Épernay in the French département of Marne, was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët (1683-1760), who had inherited vineyards. The family had been involved in the wine trade in Champagne since the 14th century. He was acquainted with the monk and "Champagne inventor" Pierre Pérignon (1639-1715), whose name was not used for a brand until much later. His son Claude-Louis Nicolas Moët (1719-1792) supplied champagne to the table of King Louis XV (1710-1774). His mistress Madame Pompadour (1721-1764) said: "Champagne is the only drink that makes women more beautiful the more they drink of it".

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
