The Crété Chamberlin TDN 1.114 Millésime Brut Nature is a prestigious vintage Champagne crafted by Mathieu and Blandine Crété, 15th-generation vignerons of their family estate in Moussy. Sourced from the 114-year-old Terre de Noël vineyard in the Grand Cru village of Oger, within their 8-hectare Côte des Blancs holdings, this 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs is a rare treasure, with only 2,500 bottles produced. Vinified in large new oak for nine months, with malolactic conversion blocked and a scant 1g/L dosage, it ages six years on lees, yielding a fine, elegant mousse. The nose offers floral notes, white citrus, and tropical hints like mango, framed by a steely minerality. The palate is tense yet rich, with ripe orange, lemon pith, and a long, precise finish, reflecting Oger’s chalky terroir and old-vine depth. Ideal with delicate seafood. A standout from Crété Chamberlin’s terroir-focused legacy.
