Codorníu boasts 2 very special accolades: it is the oldest family firm in Spain (founded in 1551), as well as the oldest company in the Cava-producing sector, producing its first bottle in 1872. The Codorníu wine cellars in San Sadurní de Noya are a key example of Catalan Art Nouveau architecture, and also hold the status of National Historic and Artistic Monument. Built by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1902 and 1915, Lluís Bonet i Garí (1930–80) made subsquent additions.
