Champagne Oudiette x Filles Les Sablonnières 2022 is the domain's single-parcel Blanc de Noirs cuvée.

• Palate: Broad, textured, and vinous on the entry. The Pinot Noir structure provides weight, muscle, and phenolic depth, while the sandy-chalk parcel origin maintains an underlying streak of acidity and mineral tension.
