Moët & Chandon celebrates the thrill of coming together this holiday season with radiant displays of the effervescence of its champagnes in an exciting pop up located in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. The pop up is set up among the luxurious mall’s retail space and will be open for the public from 9 December 2021 up until 15 January 2021.

In an exciting new chapter in its long history of generosity and savoir-fête, the House has designed a host of sparkling events around the world that will enrich its legacy of unforgettable celebrations and ring in a blissful season of togetherness. Friends of the House in attendance will kick off the festivities by raising a glass of Moët Impérial, a symbol of the House’s legendary savoir-fête, to support the charitable movement of “Toast for a Cause.”

This holiday season, Moët & Chandon has chosen the bubbles of its fine champagnes as a festive symbol that has long been an integral part of the history of the House as an icon of celebration since 1743. It was champagne’s “beautifying” sparkle that seduced Madame de Pompadour, King Louis XV’s confidante, and the royal courts of Europe. It was the very quality that Jean Remy Moët, grandson of Maison’s founder, championed around the world to express the House’s exceptional winemaking know-how and to share its message of generosity.

Moët & Chandon cheerful effervescence brightened the round-the-world voyage of the iconic hot-air balloon that arrived at Chateau de Versailles in 1993, in time for the grand celebration of the House’s 250th anniversary. It illuminated New York City’s Statue of Liberty in 2006; it lit up the majestic Christmas tree in Cape Town in 2017; and it brought cheer to the star-studded inauguration of the Chateau de Saran in 2019, feting Moët Impérial’s 150th anniversary. These examples, among countless other splendid memorable moments, are engraved in the history of Moët & Chandon.
