2017 Crete Chamberlin, Champagne, Oger Grand Cru, Blanc de Blancs, Terre de Noel 1.114 Brut Nature

Crété Chamberlin is a family-run estate located in the village of Moussy, where siblings Mathieu and Blandine Crété represent the fifteenth generation of growers cultivating the land since 1683. This wine is made from Chardonnay sourced from the 114-year-old "Terre de Noel" vineyard, a site defined by the deep chalk soils of the Oger Grand Cru. In the glass, it shows clear notes of lemon pith, white florals, and a distinct mineral tension that highlights its lean, structured profile. The 2017 vintage provided the concentration necessary to balance this wine's low dosage, resulting in a tense, precise expression of the terroir. It is ready to enjoy now for those who appreciate sharp acidity, though it possesses the structural integrity to improve with further time in the cellar.
