Moet Hennessy halted shipments of Champagnes such as Dom Perignon to Russia over new rules that now reserve the name for bubbly wines produced locally.
The decision affects other brands such as Ruinart, Moet & Chandon and Krug, and will give the company time “to understand and study the new regulations and assess their consequences,” a representative for French owner LVMH said in an email.
