Pierre Peters Les Chétillons MAGNUM 2018

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

"The 2018 Brut Cuveé Speciale Les Chetillons 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. Disgorged: July 2025." - 96 PTS., ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS MEDIA

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: "Les Chétillons, located just southeast of the village of Le Mesnil is the source of the domaine’s most iconic cuvée. The family acquired 3 plots here in 1930 and has been making this single-vineyard champagne since 1971. It’s depth relies on the interplay between three different parcels within the vineyard, with vines ranging from 70 to between 35/35 years. Dosage is between 3.5-4.5 g/L"
