Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his first championship for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has had a challenging period, achieving just one win at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
It is his maiden championship since the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from that period of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has won 21 titles at twenty-one distinct events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my children together, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child Victoria, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six finals, comprising in that event previously this season.
His defensive approach and regular reactions on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and play positively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his initial tour championship, gained dominance to create a decider.
Moutet saved four early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a shot at the net, with his opponent incapable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
