Reviews 94 points Wine Advocate "...is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, crisp peaches, freshly baked bread, warm biscuits and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and textural, it's layered, racy and fine-boned, with a bright spine of acidity, good concentration and a chalky finish. (WK)" 96 points Vinous "…is an explosive, heady wine. It is, to me, a quintessentially modern Chetillons that offers plenty of Mesnil energy, yet also has more than enough fruit to avoid any feeling of the austerity that once characterized these wines. Crushed rocks, slate, mint, lemon peel and white flowers are all beautifully delineated throughout. (AG)"

About Pierre Peters
Renowned Champagne producer Pierre Peters epitomizes exquisite craftsmanship, nestled in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. With six generations of winemaking heritage, the estate meticulously cultivates 19 hectares of Chardonnay across esteemed Grand Cru villages, including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Avize.
The uniqueness of their wines is owed to a distinct Chardonnay clone resulting from a generations-long mass selection. Paired with east-facing hillside vineyards and chalky soils, this yields wines of notable complexity, brimming with notes of exotic fruit, coffee, walnut, and butterscotch. The limited production "Cuvee Speciale Les Chetillons" is noteworthy among their offerings, a symbol of their exceptional craftsmanship.
Proprietor Rodolphe Péters, at the helm since 2008, has continued the tradition of producing sleek Champagnes. Their wines undergo malolactic fermentation, achieving a delicate balance of acidity and minerality. The blending process features a mix of vintage and reserve wines stored in an array of vessels, adding to the wine's distinct character.
Pierre Peters' Champagnes are not just meant for drinking; they are an essential addition to the discerning collector's cellar, promising an experience that evolves and deepens with age. With limited annual production, they encapsulate the allure of tradition, unique terroir, and skillful winemaking.
