The Crété Chamberlin 1683 Origine Extra Brut is a masterful tribute to the estate’s heritage, crafted by siblings Mathieu and Blandine Crété, 15th-generation vignerons since 1683. Drawn from their 8-hectare estate across 11 villages in the Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne, this cuvée blends 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Meunier, vinified with native yeasts and minimal intervention. Aged three years on lees, it unveils a fine, persistent mousse and a bouquet of white flowers, zesty citrus, and subtle toasted almonds, underscored by a chalky minerality. On the palate, it’s vibrant and precise, with a refreshing acidity, delicate fruit, and a crisp, saline finish. Lauded for its finesse and depth, this Champagne shines as an aperitif or alongside oysters and light dishes. A true reflection of Crété Chamberlin’s terroir-driven artistry.
