A Trip To Champagne Moutardier
3rd September 2020
Champagne Moutardier is located in Le Breuil in the heart of the Surmelin Valley; a terroir of the Marne Valley, 25km from Epernay. The Moutardier family has been established here since the eighteenth century and 80% of their vineyard is exclusively dedicated to the Meunier grape variety.
A lion roars on their label, but when visiting, you are greeted by two young gentlemen that couldn’t be kinder.
We toured Champagne Moutardier’s winery, being shown their bottling station, storage, vats and even some old classic cars.
After this, we were taken up to see their vines and sit at a picnic table situated in a perfect position looking over rows of vines, we were taken up in one of their fantastic cars, I sat in the back with perfectly clear views of the picturesque landscape and vineyards which I also filmed for you to see.
At the picnic table, Champagne Moutardier gave us a guided tasting through their range of Champagnes, with each offering something for everyone.
Thank you, Jasper & Simon, at Champagne Moutardier for the tour, car ride and tasting.
