OUDIETTE x FILLES CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE

Oudiette x Filles is the realization of a dream of third-generation vigneronne Margot Laurent, with the support of her sister, Charlotte and mother, Florence. Historically, Champagne is a wine region built on the talent, resilience, and resourcefulness of women. Oudiette x Filles is a celebration of that legacy, inspired by the example of their grandmother. Margot’s project is a micro-winery focused on absolute expression of her terroir through singular vineyards, vintages, grape varieties and wines, without manipulation or additions. Margot took over the tiny family estate in 2015, which consists of 6.2 acres split into nine plots of chardonnay and pinot noir located primarily in the Val du Petit Morin, south of Épernay, near the village of Beaunay. Beaunay is located in the northern part of the Val du Petit Morin in the Côte des Blancs, south of a small forest which separates it from the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay area. The region’s name comes from the Petit Morin river, which has its source in the Val-des-Marais commune.
