Pierre Péters, Les Chétillons Cuvée Spéciale Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, 2007

This single-vineyard Champagne comes from Chardonnay vines up to 80 years old in one of Le Mesnil’s most renowned sites. While it’s voluptuous and complex, it remains lively and taut thanks to firm acidity and a piercing, chalky minerality. Talcum powder, caramel, lemon and roasted apples on the nose. The palate is brightly acidic with buttery brioche tones and a fine mousse. Very fresh for its age with good focus and elegance.
