Kirjeldus

Veinimaja kõige ikoonilisem ja kindlasti üks parimaid Blanc de Blancs šampanjasid maailmas. See on ka ainuke Pétersi šampanja, mis tuleb ainult Le Mesnil sur Ogeri külast, veel täpsemini öeldes selles asuvast üksik-veiniaaist Les Chétillons. Pétersi perekond ostis selle väikese 2.5 hektari suuruse Grand Cru veinipõllu 1930ndatel ning on siit üksik-veiniaia šampanjat valmistanud 1971. aastast saadik. Siinsete veinipuude vanus on vahemikus 45-80 aastat. Küpsemine pudelis kestis 66 kuud ja pärast disgorgement’i veel 12 kuud. Dosage on 4 g/l kohta, settelt eemaldamine toimus 18.06.2024.

“Derived from three old-vine parcels within the same lieu-dit, the 2017 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons, disgorged in July 2024 with four grams per liter dosage, is structurally open today, but Rodolphe predicts it will tighten up with more time post disgorgement, as I’m sure it will. Opening in the glass to reveal notes of fresh almond, iodine, clams and citrus fruit, it is flamboyant and charming. Less youthfully austere and more demonstrative than the 2016 vintage rendition, it is Les Chétillons with a more powerful musculature, balanced by a bright spine of acidity and concluding with a long, saline finish. More mineral-laced than the Les Montjolys of the same year, one will want to consider laying down the bottles as they refine with age. It’s the first release where Péters decided to extend aging sur lattes for six more months (from six years to six and a half years), followed by a year post-disgorgement, a decision based on tasting.” Wine Advocate 94+ points
