Elegant on the nose with dense notes of flowers and herbs and a fine minerality in the background. On the palate, this Chablis reveals a powerful balance between minerality and acidity, with pronounced aromas of white fruit, fruit compote, and apricot on the finish.

The Chardonnay grapes for this Grand Cru grow on the right bank of the Serein River between Chablis and Maligny. This prime location boasts virtually unparalleled conditions: an east-southeast facing vineyard and a terroir of calcareous soil with a marl subsoil and fossils (known as Kimmeridgian), make this Premier Cru one of the most prestigious in the world. A long, low-temperature fermentation in oak barrels transforms this Chablis into one of our absolute favorite wines.

The Moutard Champagne House has been owned by the same family since the 17th century and through several generations. It is situated in a picturesque landscape on the sun-drenched slopes of the Côte des Bar, in the southern part of the Champagne region. The soil of the Côte des Bar, composed of clay and limestone, imparts particularly rich and fruity aromas to the area's traditional grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which are highly prized by connoisseurs. All Moutard wines and Champagnes are made from grapes grown on their own estate or from grapes purchased from partner growers. To ensure that the Champagnes are perfectly mature and ready to be enjoyed, they age for at least three years in the cellar; vintage Champagnes are aged for ten to fifteen years.

The Moutard family's story begins in 1642. Old cellar records document these early activities as winemakers, upon which the family tradition is founded. Champagne production is the fruit of a true tradition, and each family develops its own techniques over time, continuously refining them.
