The pinnacle of Pierre Peters and one of Champagne's great single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs — made only in the finest years, from a single harvest, off one hallowed patch of Grand Cru chalk. "Les Chetillons" is a lieu-dit within Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, planted to three old-vine parcels averaging around 50 years, the oldest dating to 1936. Where the estate's non-vintage cuvees blend across years, this is pure vintage terroir: 2018 fruit, vinified parcel by parcel, then aged some two years on the lees with a low dosage that leaves it taut and precise. Peters has bottled Chetillons since 1971, and it remains a benchmark for what old-vine Mesnil Chardonnay can achieve. Powerful yet chiseled, and built to age for years.

"The 2018 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is a super-classic Peters Champagne. Bright and beautifully sculpted in the glass, the 2018 sizzles with tension. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, dried flowers, sage and oyster shell are some of the many notes that emerge over time. I especially admire the energy here. An archetype for Mesnil." —Antonio Galloni

More about Pierre Peters

Less than a decade back the grower champagne movement still seemed ‘underground’ and only in its infancy. Fast forward to today - thanks to social media, a handful of devoted importers, and more informed wine drinkers, they are finally gaining well deserved attention. If you weren’t aware of the phenomenon, a ‘grower’ is someone that owns and farms their vineyards in addition to making all their champagnes. One of the stars that has risen is none other than Pierre Peters. Rodolphe Peters is a 4th generation winemaker in his family and took over the estate in 2008, presiding over some of the most coveted land in all of Champagne – Les Mesnil sur Oger. While driving through the Cote des Blancs, it’s difficult not to be mesmerized by all the beautifully tended vines, but what is so special about Mesnil is the soil structure. Composed of mainly limestone and chalk, and we’re talking A LOT of chalk. In fact, the soil is so chalky that some of the producers use pieces of it to write and mark on their barrels! How this kind of soil affects the wine is almost a magical mineral lift that you can only get from these parcels. The balancing act of marrying fruit, acid and minerality in champagne is no trifling task and Rodolphe Peters is someone that has seemingly mastered this. Careful work in the vineyard and cellar ensures the purest expression of Chardonnay and all of his wines go through malolactic fermentation due to their naturally high acidities.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Caviar, raw oysters, turbot or halibut in beurre blanc, or a fine aged Comte.

Tasting Profile

Dry, powerful, and precise, with citrus rind, white flowers, brioche, and a saline chalk core. Fine mousse, cutting acidity, and a long, mineral finish.
