2009 Pierre Peters Cuvee Speciale 'Les Chetillons' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut 1.5L

"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." 95/100 - Wine Advocate
