Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2015 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is linear, tight and unyielding. There is plenty of energy, but not quite the depth of the best editions. The Chétillons has a track record of aging beautifully, but it is also usually much more expressive in the early going. I can't say I am surprised, as 2015 was not a strong vintage here.
About the Producer
The Pierre Péters estate, situated in the heart of the "Côte des Blancs" in the village of Le Mesnil sur Oger, has been a family house for six generations and has produced Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagnes since 1919. We do everything possible to express the chalky soil of our great terroirs as passionate craftsmen. Champagne grower-producer, our wines come exclusively from our own vineyards. Our house currently operates just over 19 hectares of Chardonnay, mainly located in the communes of Le Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant. Our family has developed from generation to generation, its own selection of grapes (mass selection). We have been able to maintain and age vineyards which are now 30-years old on average. Each year in respect of the environment, we adapt our cultivation methods to obtain healthy grapes so that our Champagne expresses more precisely the richness, subtlety and the elegance of the great "terroirs" of the Côte des Blancs.
