Oudiette x Filles Composition 2022

Region and Appellation:

Champagne Oudiette x Filles Composition 2022 is one of the centerpiece expressions from sisters Margot and Charlotte Laurent.

As the name implies, Composition is designed as a harmonious interplay of contrasting elements: balancing 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir sourced from complementary micro-parcels in Beaunay within the Coteaux du Petit Morin.

While their Uni Terre cuvée focuses strictly on Blanc de Blancs, Composition showcases how the domain bridges chalky tension with red-fruit weight and structure.

Profile & Sensory Characteristics

• Aroma: Bright and vibrant on the nose. Opens with white flowers, lemon peel, and yellow orchard fruit from the Chardonnay, layered against crushed red berries, subtle spice, and a delicate pastry note imparted by gentle oak contact.

• Palate: Remarkable balance on the palate. The entry is precise and energetic, driven by the distinct saline, chalky minerality of the Petit Morin soil. As it sits on the palate, the Pinot Noir expands to lend texture, vinous weight, and structured mid-palate breadth without feeling heavy.

• Finish: Crisp, bone-dry, and lingering with a fine mousse, subtle savory tones, and a dry, stone-fruit salinity.
