Further reinforcing its long-standing love affair with cinema, Moet &
Chandon last night hosted a fabulous "Tribute to Cinema" celebration in

Moet's "Tribute to Cinema" theme infused every breathtaking detail of the
evening, held in Roppongi Hills. Mark Bedingham, Moet Hennessy Regional
Managing Director of Asia Pacific, elegantly greeted VIPs on the Gold Carpet
as they arrived.

The highlight of the evening was the entrance of Scarlett Johansson, who
warmly welcomed guests on behalf of Moet, as the Moet Muse. Following the
Moet red carpet tradition, Scarlett autographed a golden Moet Methuselah, to
be auctioned in support of her charity of choice. As she addressed the crowd,
a spectacular lighting display lit up the backdrop of the Tokyo skyline in
hues of gold.

"I am touched that Moet chose Tokyo, a city that means so much to me, to
host this fabulous 'Tribute to Cinema' event," explained Scarlett Johansson,
the Moet Muse. "It is an honor to have been cast as the first celebrity face
of champagne!"

Mark Bedingham added: "As the champagne of cinema, Moet is thrilled to
celebrate the magic of cinema and introduce our Muse in Tokyo, a city that
has starred in countless classic films over the years."

In 2009, Moet unveiled Scarlett to the world as the Moet Muse in an
international print, outdoor and online advertising campaign, shot by
photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, featuring Moet and Scarlett as
icons of celebration.
