Moët & Chandon, an LVMH winery, deployed an AI-powered optical sorting system that photographs each crate of grapes upon arrival at the press and uses computer vision algorithms to detect damage and assign quality ratings. The system was implemented across all Moët & Chandon wine presses in 2024 and evaluated over 16,000 pallets of grapes in under three weeks.
Details
The system was developed over six years in collaboration with French agtech startup Hiphen, using algorithms trained on more than 6,000 annotated grape images. Computer vision detects grapes affected by diseases such as Botrytis and isolates substandard fruit before pressing. A mobile version of the solution is also being developed for Moët & Chandon's partner-vignerons. This practice is confirmed by LVMH's own tech platform and was showcased at VivaTech 2025.
