Pierre Peters is a small, grower Champagne specializing in 100% Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) sparkling wines made in chalky soils. Crystalline, jewel-like firmness and concentrated depth give these Champagne's a 'Krug-like' personality which is very unique among Blanc de Blancs. They boast the concentration of the crisp, minerally essence of the region, with luscious fruit almost bursting from the glass. Though not exceptionally high in acidity, they are exceptionally low in pH, which gives them their attack on the palate and their thrilling high notes of aroma.
"Les Chétillons is the name of our special vintage which refers to a beautiful "lieu-dit", a place found in the Grand Cru village of le Mesnil sur Oger. We own three plots of old vines (aged over 45 years), acquired in 1930. Each parcel is vinified separately and blended to produce a single vineyard vintage. All the power and the minerality of the Mesnil's calcareous soil is expressed in this wine produced since 1971. Its reputation has surpassed our borders and even Michael Edwards himself describes Les Chétillons as "one of the most beautiful pieces of land of Champagne." -Winery
