The Story

Les Chétillons is situated in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil sur Oger and enjoys an almost perfect aspect. Three parcels of vines, ranging from 40 to 70 years of age, yield the grapes used to make this legendary cuvée. These vines, impacted by the quality of the terroir and our mass selection practices, provide the definitive statement of the particular style of this village, a style which resides in mineral power, incredible purity, and a capacity to age.

Dosage: 4 to 5g/L

"The grapes composing this cuvée are exclusively issued from three old vines of the beautiful "Terroir" of Chétillons at Le Mesnil in Oger. The minerality of the chalky soil is fully showing in this Chardonnay Cuvee, always with a vintage, only produced during the best years.
Dosage : 4 to 5 g / L

Vintage 2005

 The 2005 vintage was a year of marked contrasts between seasons and regions. Following a fairly harsh winter, 2005 had a mild spring with relatively warm temperatures all year long. There was above average sunshine and a slight water deficit, as had been the case throughout the dry cycle of 2005/2004 and 2003. The heat and humidity in July produced larger grapes and bunches, rather unusually for the Champagne region, while the cooler weather in August, followed by a very sunny month of September, led to favourable ripening in spite of heavy parasite pressure. The harvest dates were “typical” of those of the decade: September 12th for Chardonnays and the following day for Pinots Noirs.

Written Notes

Druvorna till Pierre Peters Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons kommer från vinstockar som är 70 är gamla. De gamla vinstockarna ger en söt och smeksam koncentration och den aromatiska tonen är detsamma i alla årgångar av Cuvée Spéciale. Till Chètillons används tre plots som köptes av farfar 1930. Dessa täcker enbart 2,5 hektar. Vinifieras alltid separat. Normalt ger 2,5 ha ca 20 000 flaskor i Chètillons: 8-12 000. Rodolphes farfar planterade en modervingård 1937 i en av dessa plots som man tar alla kloner från. – Selecion Marsall(osäker på stavningen). 65-70% av dagens vinrankor kommer från modervingården i Chètillons. Samtliga viner genomgår alltid 100% malolaktisk jäsning. TASTINGNOTE ‘Nyanserad, elegant, fruktig doft med inslag av vita blommor, persika, citrus, mineral och rostat bröd. Mycket komplex och elegant, frisk, fruktig och något aromatisk champagne med inslag av jasmin, grapefrukt, hasselnötter och äpplen. Lång, nyanserad eftersmak.’
