Established in 1743, Moet & Chandon is based in Epernay, France, boasting 500 hectares of vineyards which yield a yearly production of 26 million bottles. Despite difficulties in finding adequate supplies of grapes during the Revolution, the house flourished and grew further during the Napoleonic era. Moet & Chandon has now grown to the point where it has the largest vineyard holdings in the Champagne business.
Indulge in the world's most popular Champagne house at Geja's Cafe by taking part in Toasting Tuesdays. Every Tuesday in December and January, guests will receive 26 percent off every Moet-Chandon product, in celebration of Geja's 26th annual Champagne Tasting and Festival.
