Pierre Péters Les Chetillons Cuvée Spéciale 2012

Coiled and austere, Les Chetillons 2012 opens with lemon pith, green apple, and raw chalk, all precision, no give. Fine bubbles carry a persistent, almost electric tension through the palate, where the wine's depth is evident but firmly guarded. Beneath the strict exterior lies serious concentration, the kind that demands time rather than rewards impatience. From one of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger's most celebrated parcels, this needs a decade or more to fully unwind.
