Pierre Peters Cuvee Speciale 'Les Chetillons' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut, Champagne, France 2018
Cuvée Spéciale ‘Les Chétillons’ Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut, Champagne 2018
One of Champagne’s benchmark expressions of Grand Cru Chardonnay, Les Chétillons comes from three old-vine parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where deep-rooted vines draw extraordinary precision and minerality from the region’s famed chalk soils. The 2018 vintage balances ripe citrus and orchard fruit with notes of lemon zest, white flowers, fresh mint, toasted almond and oyster shell. Broad and beautifully textured on the palate, it remains taut and energized, finishing with remarkable chalky precision and a long, saline echo. With its combination of vintage depth, crystalline freshness and serious aging potential, this is a must-have Champagne for collectors and lovers of profound, terroir-driven Blanc de Blancs.
