Pierre Péters Les Chetillons Cuvée Spéciale 2014

Tight and stony, with lemon curd, green apple and a raw chalk edge that signals how young this still is. Le Mesnil fruit delivers that hallmark tension, coiled, focused, almost severe in its restraint right now. Fine bubbles carry the acidity cleanly through a long, austere finish. Patience is not optional here; this wants a decade minimum to unfurl, but the concentration underneath suggests it will be worth every year of waiting.
