The Crété Chamberlin Les Mazaux 1er Cru Millésime is a captivating vintage Champagne from Mathieu and Blandine Crété, 15th-generation vignerons of their family estate in Moussy. Sourced from a 40-are Chardonnay parcel in Villeneuve-Renneville, within their 8-hectare holdings across the Côte des Blancs, this Blanc de Blancs showcases Premier Cru finesse. Vinified in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation and a low dosage, it ages five years on lees, delivering a vibrant, silky mousse. The nose reveals citrus, brioche, and toasted notes, with a complex, mineral-driven palate that lingers elegantly. Praised by the Guide Hachette des Vins (2 stars, 2022) for its “tonicity and length,” it’s ideal with seafood or as an aperitif. A limited gem from Crété Chamberlin’s terroir-focused legacy.
