Moutard

We decided to do a champagne tasting after lunch. I had seen Moutard advertise, and thought they would be a good one to visit. They are in the small village of Buxieres, about 15 minutes from us. It was about 1.45pm, and not yet open, so we went to take a look at the river in Neuville-sur -Seine. It was a crystal clear deep green colour, and full of fish, that we watched for a while darting amongst the weed, nibbling for their lunch.

Next stop champagne Moutard. We tasted their Perrierres and their rosé. Both were good, so we came away with a few bottles.

They had an excellent range of fine quality wines and also spirts, as they make not only champagne but Ratafia, Marc de champagne, and whisky.
