The House of Mercier Champagne was founded in 1858 by Eugene
Mercier, who amazingly was only 20 years old. His aim was to bring a
top-class Champagne to the general public from his estate in
Epernay. It took six years to excavate the 18 kilometres of
tunnels that became the Mercier cellars, with the work being completed
in 1877.
Eugene Mercier showed his excellent marketing savvy
when he opened his cellars to the public in 1885. Staff were assigned
to welcome & guide visitors through the cellars. They were able to
enjoy the work of local sculptor Gustave-Andre Navlet who had been
commissioned to carve high reliefs from the chalk. These tours helped
to increase awareness of the Mercier brand. One visitor of note was
the French President Sadi Carnot.
Sadly this great pioneer
of Champagne died in 1904, but not before he had put the House of
Mercier firmly on the map of Champagne. His sons took up the reins of
this fine company with justifiable pride and under their leadership the
House of Mercier continued to thrive. 66 years later the house merged
with Moet & Chandon and then in 1987 joined the Louis Vuitton Moet
Hennessy Group.
