Luxury Champagne House Moët & Chandon hosted a media breakfast to celebrate 150 years of Moët Imperial, and announce its annual Moët & Chandon Grand Day.
The event was attended by the French Ambassador in Kenya and Somalia – H.E. Mrs. Aline Kuster-Menager, who praised the French firm's impressive record as well as its sheer determination to always produce quality products.
Speaking at the event, Kuster-Menager stated that the firm was one of the world's top champagne makers and was particularly impressed by its ability to produce up to 26 million bottles of champagne every single year.
“Moet and Chandon is one of the most famous brands in the world and it produces over 26 million bottles of world class champagne every year. It is a pleasure for me to discover the Moet and Chandon brand here in Kenya.
"I understand that Kenya will be part of the celebrations of the 150 years of Moet Impérial. This goes ahead to prove that the business relationship between Kenya and France keeps growing stronger each year. For such a world popular brand to come and set base here in Kenya, shows Kenya’s great investment potential,” praised Kuster-Menager.
She also challenged other French firms to look up to the firm and aim to invest in Kenya as it was an rapidly growing economy good for doing business.
“As the Ambassador I would like to encourage other French companies to invest in Kenya because Kenya is a good place to do business. The number of French companies that have come to invest in Kenya in the past five years is testimony to the good trade relations enjoyed by both countries,” she added.
In Kenya, Moët & Chandon Grand Day will be celebrated on June 22nd and will flow from hour to hour with uniquely enchanting experiences, starting with day-time celebrations and gypset brunches.
Guests will be invited to celebrate their own iconic #MoetMoment with a glass – or a stylish miniature bottle – of the alluring signature Moët Impérial, a style of champagne defined by a bright fruitiness, a seductive palate and an elegant maturity.
"We are thrilled to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Moët Impérial, our signature champagne that has embodied the grandeur of the House since 1869. Kenya is a key market for us and that’s why we have chosen to celebrate this milestone in Nairobi.
“Moët & Chandon is synonymous today with celebration because, for almost three centuries, we have combined our ‘savoir-faire’ (know-how) with our own art of the fête to perfect a unique ‘savoir-fête’ that has made our champagnes a great choice for toasting both intimate moments and important milestones,” added Eastern Africa Market Manager for Moët Hennessy Alexandre Helaine.
The event was also attended by government officials and key trade partners of the French Champagne House.
