Champagne​‌​ Moutard is a family house in Buxeuil, in the Côte des Bar in the Aube département, which both processes its own grapes and operates as a négociant.

• History: The Moutard family has been growing vines for almost four centuries; according to the Guide Hachette, its winegrowing dates back to 1642. The first bottles under the Moutard name appeared in 1927, when Paul Moutard decided to make his own champagne. Lucien Moutard later passed the business on to François, Agnès and Véronique; the next generation is now also involved.
• Vineyards and terroir: Over time the family bought vineyards across the Côte des Bar and owns some 21 to 23 hectares there.
• Approach and style: Moutard is one of the few houses that, besides pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay, still grows the rare varieties arbane, petit meslier and pinot blanc.
• Cuvées: Its best-known wine is the Cuvée 6 Cépages, a blend of all six varieties aged in demi-muids. Others include a Vieilles Vignes Arbane, a Pinot Blanc Blanc de Blancs, the Cuvée des 2 Sœurs and the Rosé de Cuvaison.
