Oudiette 'LGH - Les Gras d'Huile' Extra Brut, Champagne, France (2022 Base)

Maxime Oudiette is one of Champagne’s most exciting emerging grower-vignerons, working just 4 hectares in Beaunay in the Coteaux du Petit Morin. After gaining experience with Anselme Selosse, he returned to his family vineyards and began producing tiny quantities of intensely terroir-driven Champagne. His wines emphasize old vines, organic farming, spontaneous fermentation, and extended aging in oak, resulting in beautifully textured, mineral, highly individual cuvées that are increasingly sought after by Champagne collectors

“LGH – Les Gras d’Huile” Extra Brut —-A highly limited, 100% Chardonnay single-parcel Blanc de Blancs from Maxime Oudiette in Beaunay. The vineyard combines lignite-rich clay, chalk, and marl, giving the wine remarkable mineral depth and texture. Fermented and aged for at least 11 months in 228-liter barrels and then extended on its lees, it delivers citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, brioche, and a long, saline finish. With tiny production and a deeply terroir-driven style, this is a true insider Champagne for serious collectors.
