This is a selection of the finest expressions of Les Chetillons. Aromas of wet chalk leap from the glass, evolving into vanilla bean, roasted apples and ginger, followed by sliced lemons, grapefruit peel and Sichuan pepper. Fine bubbles frame a full-bodied, velvety palate, where crushed limestone, blanched almonds and green mandarin zest drive the savory finish. Drink or hold.

The 2018 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is a super-classic Peters Champagne. Bright and beautifully sculpted in the glass, the 2018 sizzles with tension. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, dried flowers, sage and oyster shell are some of the many notes that emerge over time. I especially admire the energy here. An archetype for Mesnil. Disgorged: July 2025.
