Champagne Moutaux: a family history at the heart of the Cote des Bar
Champagne Moutaux
A family house of independent winegrowers in Bligny (Aube), in the Cote des Bar. 13 hectares on Kimmeridgian soils, four Champagne grapes, sustainable viticulture (Terra Vitis, HVE). Champagnes made from the vine to the bottle.
Based in Bligny, in the Aube, Champagne Moutaux is a family house of independent winegrowers for several generations. Located between Bar-sur-Aube and Bar-sur-Seine, our estate stands out for a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture, the transmission of an artisanal know-how, and champagnes made entirely at the property, from the vine to the bottle.
Our 13-hectare vineyard, spread across several slopes with varied orientations (south, south-east and east), benefits from Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, typical of the Cote des Bar.

A unique terroir and vines tended with respect
This terroir allows us to grow the four great Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir (majority), Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Blanc. Each plot is worked according to the natural cycles with manual practices: pruning, disbudding, leaf-thinning, trellising and 100% manual harvesting.
No herbicide or insecticide is used, and fungicides are reduced to the strict minimum.
Certified and eco-responsible viticultural practices
The estate is engaged in an environmental approach: certified Terra Vitis since 2012 and HVE (High Environmental Value) since 2018. We favour biodiversity (hedges, natural grass cover, no insecticides) and practise only mechanical weeding.
Our approach respects the health of the vine as much as that of the men and women of the estate, while guaranteeing healthy, expressive grapes without residues.
Winemaking at the property: authenticity and precision
The grapes are pressed whole in our pneumatic press. The first presses, called the cuvee, are fine and elegant; the tailles bring more fruity aromas. Each grape and each plot are vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats to preserve their aromatic identity.
Our blends are designed with care and precision, in collaboration with our oenologist, to guarantee consistent, balanced champagnes representative of the terroir. Our champagnes age in the cellar between 24 months and more than 10 years depending on the cuvees, a long maturation that develops their complexity and finesse.
A family saga of independent winegrowers
The story begins with Jean-Claude Moutaux, who founded the house in 1973 with his wife Odette. Joined by their son Francis, then by his sister Christine and her husband, the estate became fully family-run. Today, the succession is ensured by the new generation: Chloe, Florian, Jennifer and Pierre, who combine modernity and respect for tradition.
