Moutard Pere et Fils Description
A small, family run estate in Buxeuil, in the Aube or Cote des Bar. The family has been tending to the Kimmeridgian clay and limestone since 1642, and first started producing wine in 1927. In addition to the “big three”, the estate also grows Pinot Blanc, and heirloom varietals Petit Meslier, and Arbanne. There are just over 20 hectares of vineyards. All champagnes are aged a minimum of three years on the lees.
Champagne Moutard is a traditional, family run business dating to the 17th century. Primarily grower-producers, Moutard Champagnes showcase the rich and aromatic qualities of the Côtes des Bar terroir.
The Cotes des Bar, also known as the Aube region, sits close to the ancient capital of Champagne, Troyes, and is geographically closer to Chablis than the common Champagne towns of Reims and Epernay in the Marne region. The soil therefore shares more in common with the renowned terroir of Chablis. Champagne Moutard’s vineyards are planted in Kimmeridgian soil (limestone & clay) rather than Champanian (cretaceous chalk). The Kimmeridgian soil and a more southern, slightly warmer terroir mixed with the regional wine making mentality produces Champagnes that are slightly richer and more complex than those from the Marne.
