Descriptive Note Text

Moët & Chandon is a French fine winery and one of the world's largest champagne producers.  Moët et Chandon was established in 1743 by Claude Moët. One of its most famous articles is Dom Pérignon, a brand of champagne named after Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk remembered in popular lore as the "Father of Champagne."

This kiosk, located in the gardens of the French section, reproduced part of Hautvillers Abbey, the benedectine monastery  where Dom Pérignon contributed to the development of Champagne. A statue of Dom Pérignon was erected in front of the kiosk.
