2014 Pierre Peters, Cuvee Speciale, Les Chetillons, Blanc de Blancs Brut
The 2014 Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is fabulous. The 2014 is not as obvious as years like 2012 or 2013, but it presents a youthfully austere, classic personality that is absolutely beguiling. Readers will have to be patient here. There is certainly a lot to look forward to. The 2014 Les Chétillons is a Blanc de Blancs that sizzles with Mesnil tension and energy. Dosage is 3.5-4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May, 2021. ~ (97) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 11-1-2021
Disgorged in July 2021, Péters's just-released 2014 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with scents of ripe citrus fruits, crisp green and yellow orchard fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, deep and incisive, it's seamless and concentrated, its elegantly fleshy core of fruit underpinned by a racy spine of acidity and animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse; it concludes with a long, mineral finish. Readers will have a lot of fun comparing the 2014 with the more tightly wound 2013 in a decade's time. ~ (96) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-31-2022
Lemon rind, white apricot, grapefruit, chalk and hints of flint and salted bread. It's focused and refined, with structure and muscle, but driven by fresh minerality. 100% chardonnay, selected from four parcels in Chetillon and fermented in stainless steel. Drink or hold. ~ (96) Claire Nesbitt, JamesSuckling.com 7-16-2024
