Margot Laurent, Charlotte, and their mother Florence established the domaine in 2014. Their family has been cultivating grapes in the Coteaux du Morin for three generations, and they sold their produce to Champagne Pommery. The Petits Coteaux du Morin, located southwest of the Côtes des Blancs and northeast of the Côte de Sézanne, is a lesser-known part of Champagne. Here, there are no Grand or 1er Crus, and the vines are interspersed with forests and fields. The culty and highly sought-after wines of Domaine Ulysse Collin in Congy are the most famous representative of the region.
Les Sablonnières comes from a tiny plot (23.64 ares) near the village of Beaunay in the Coteaux du Petit Morin. The parcel has a south-southwestern exposure at 200m planted to pinot noir and pinot noir droit (a small-berried clone prized for its structure) on sandy-clay topsoils over a chalky subsoil. 2019 was the first time this vineyard was fermented alone and the results are stunning. Les Sablonnières is particularly suited to producing fine pinot noir that is both well-structured and immediately inviting, with a beautiful nose and effortless grace.
