Description / Reviews

"The 2017 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons shows why this is such a great site and also illustrates the difference between chalk here and clay in Les Montjolys. Bright saline notes cut through a core of citrus peel, slate, chalk, mint and white pepper. This is classic Chétillons from start to finish. All of the Chétillons signatures are present, perhaps slightly attenuated in this vintage, but not by much. The long, sustained finish is another hallmark of this first-rate site in Mesnil. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2024." - 95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The grapes used to compose this vintage come from three aged parcels located in the beautiful terroir of Les Chétillons at Le Mesnil sur Oger. The minerality of the chalky soil is evident in this 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay. As always with a vintage Champagne, it is produced exclusively using the grapes from one harvest year, whatever the year. This wine ages in our cellars a least 72 months on the lees and one more year on the cork after disgorgement before release." - Champagne Peters, Winemaker
