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...

Written Notes

Pierre Peters Heritage. The Les Chétillons is a stunning blanc de blancs, but this was a something else. I had heard of this wine, but it never occurred to me I would ever get to try it. This incredibly rare champagne is yet another variation on the theme with a mindboggling array of reserve wines. Reserve wines used in multi-vintage blends rarely go back more than a decade or two at most. The Heritage is comprised to one-third of the 2010 Les Chétillons as the base wine with the remaining contribution from vintages back to 1921: 1921, 1947, 1959, 1964, 1966, 1969, 1973, 1976, 1979, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1996, 2002, 2004, and 2006 to be specific (this is largely a roll call of the great years of the region). Then eight years on lees.

The result is an incredibly complex wine, and yet one still fresh, vibrant, and dancing. Layered, intense and exquisite, we have notes of stone fruits, lemons, florals, glacé fruits, toast, and a whiff of beeswax. Seamless and perfectly balanced. Astonishing stuff. 99 (to be honest, it probably deserved the perfect score, but I was a bit worried that with more to come I’d paint myself into the proverbial corner).
