The 2009 Les Chétillons Cuvée Spéciale Blanc de Blancs Brut blends three plots located in the terroir of Chétillon in the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru Le Mesnil. Disgorged in November 2014, Péter's prestige cuvée offers a rich and complex, chalky and buttery nose with flavors of fresh mushrooms, honey, brittle and really ripe Chardonnay fruit. However, despite its richness, the wine indicates a great purity and elegance—and this is exactly what you get on the palate. Due to its shocking purity, this 2009 is incredibly fresh and seemingly light on the palate, but rich and complex at the same time. The finish is forcefully mineral, highly complex, salty and very, very long. It is provided with a piquant grip and mouthwatering lemon flavors in the aftertaste. The total production is 7,000 bottles and every bottle you don't drink will be drunk by somebody else. Although the wine will gain further complexity, it is already exciting to drink. One of the best Blanc de Blancs I had on my 2016 tasting tours. Have a look at the price and you'll find a good argument to call this is a Best Buy. (SR)

The 2009 Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is remarkably polished and balanced throughout, with plenty of vintage 2009 radiance. Apricot pit, smoke, peach and spice overtones take shape in a striking Champagne. Although quite open and expressive today, the 2009 is also holding back a considerable amount of pure, unbridled power as well as potential. Ripe and racy to the core, yet with no excess weight, the 2009 stands out for its exceptional balance. Dosage was 4.7 grams per liter, a bit higher than normal. Péters told me he thought the drier vintage needed a little bit more sugar. Disgorged December 1, 2014. (AG)

A lovely blanc de blancs that offers more with each sip. Firm and structured at first, this is wrapped in a fine, creamy mousse. The flavors expand from poached pear and chalk to toasted hazelnut and glazed apricot to hints of fleur de sel and passion fruit coulis.(AN)

Notes

95 points William Kelley - Wine Advocate: "The 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is showing very well, though it has hardly budged since release and continues to offer up a youthful bouquet of citrus oil, honeycomb, freshly baked bread, oyster shell, warm biscuits and nougat. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a deep and layered core structured around abundant dry extract, concluding with a chalky finish. In a vintage that can be a little facile, this is a very serious, soil-driven Chétillons that has all the makings of a long-lived Champagne." (08/2019)
