2010 Pierre Peters, Les Chetillons Cuvee Speciale Blanc de Blancs 1×1.5L

Vinous 93

Peters 2010 Brut Cuvee Speciale Les Chetillons looks to be a relatively easygoing, approachable version of this reference-point Mesnil Champagne. There is good depth and purity to the flavors, but the 2010 is decidedly delicate and airy in the glass, with mid-weight structure and more openness than is typically the case. Scents of yellow orchard fruit, honey, chamomile and white flowers open up nicely. I don t find the dimension or energy of the finest years. In exchange, though, the 2010 should drink well with minimal cellaring. [Antonio Galloni, 02/01/2018]
