The Moutard family comes from Polisy, in the Côte des Bar. Lucien Moutard inherited the art of cultivating the local land from his father. He continued his work, planting up to 10 hectares of vineyards between 1950 and 1980.

He passed on to his children Agnès, Véronique, and François the fruits of a lifetime's labor: "He firmly believed in the Côte des Bar region and these lands, and he had also created a land reserve." A region with a very specific terroir, with a notable oceanic influence in both climate and soil, and with large quantities of marine fossils that contribute to wines with greater character and complexity.

The Champagne Moutard family is known for maintaining this continuity between the wines of the past and present, rescuing and preserving old and forgotten grape varieties. This is one of the family's many initiatives to elevate their winery to new heights.
