Citizen Week is a global Moët Hennessy initiative to promote sustainability in line with Sustainable Development Week, which has been established in Europe. In 2018, this activity was implemented in the Moët Hennessy Group in Europe, and in 2019, it will be expanded to the entire world.
The event was held online in recognition of the significance of continuing to hold the event in Japan in 2020 and 2021, and in light of the recent situation at Corona Damages. This event is an in-house event for employees and staff (some employees of LVMH Group companies).

■ été 庄司夏子シェフのコメント
「ドン ペリニヨンというシャンパーニュは、私にとって特別な存在です。“時間の芸術”と称されるように、短期的な流行に左右されることなく、長期的な視点でシャンパーニュ造りに向き合い、その唯一無二の テイストを今日まで守り続けています。さらに、その味わいの奥には、今もわずか1%ほど、修道士ドン・ピエール・ペリニヨンが1668年から手がけた畑のブドウが使われており、オリジンが確かに息づいて います。まさに、彼のDNAを継承したアートピースだと感じています。ご一緒できることを、心より 光栄に思います 」
