The story of Moutard Grand Cuvee Chpg

Moutard is a family house in Buxeuil, a village of around 150 people in the Aube, in the southern Côte des Bar. The Moutard-Diligent family has lived there since the mid-17th century and traces its winegrowing back to 1642, though it only began selling champagne under its own name in the 1920s. François Moutard and his sisters Véronique and Agnès run the estate today, with the next generation coming through.

They farm about 22.5 hectares and are known for keeping alive grapes most of Champagne has forgotten: Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc, which go into a separate six-grape cuvée. The Grande Cuvée is the plain, classic bottle. It is a non-vintage blanc de noirs made entirely from Pinot Noir and aged on its lees for at least three years.

Because the Côte des Bar is Pinot Noir country, the wine is rounder than a Chardonnay-led blend. Expect peach and pear, almond and a toasty brioche note, with a creamy mousse. The house suggests it as an aperitif, and it is substantial enough for a cheese plate, a gougère or smoked salmon. Chill it to around 8 degrees.
