Current Vintage: 2018
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Few names in the Côte des Blancs command quite the same affection among Champagne lovers as Pierre Péters. Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the family has been making Champagne for generations, with Rodolphe Péters continuing its reputation for some of the region's most compelling Blanc de Blancs. Les Chétillons is the jewel in the crown, a single-vineyard Grand Cru that has become one of the benchmarks for Chardonnay in Champagne.
The 2018 comes from three parcels of old vines within Les Chétillons, a celebrated vineyard in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The generous growing season gave the Chardonnay plenty of natural richness, while extended ageing on the lees has brought an extra dimension of complexity. A modest dosage keeps the wine beautifully balanced, allowing the character of this extraordinary vineyard to take centre stage.
Ripe lemon, golden apple and white peach meet toasted almond, delicate brioche and a little spice. There's impressive depth and texture, but also a wonderful chalky freshness that keeps everything precise and carries the wine into a long, almost saline finish. Serious Champagne that deserves a proper wine glass and a little time to open up. Beautiful with oysters, scallops, lobster or roast turbot, and a bottle that should only become more fascinating with age.
