Pierre Peters Les Chetillons Blanc de Blancs 2008 AOC 0.75l

Pierre Peters Les Chetillons Blanc de Blancs 2008 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a chapter in Champagne that, starting from the heart of the Côte des Blancs, reveals a luminous and rigorous Chardonnay, capable of combining freshness, minerality, and a rare depth in the now mature vintage, offering a liquid interpretation of the calcareous soil from which it grows and the hand that cultivates it. The history of the Pierre Peters house is rooted in a family tradition rooted in a long-standing philosophy: careful management of the vineyards, meticulous care of the soil, a constant quest for integrity, where the choice to work with Chardonnay grapes selected from the terroirs most exposed to the peaks of purity is an integral part of the company's identity and the promise made to the consumer. The production philosophy favors a clear interpretation of the terroir: manual harvests, a vinification that enhances after-fermentation on the lees without forcing, and cellar maturation that allows the wine to acquire complexity without losing its acidic tension. Les Chetillons, a cru renowned for its chalk and limestone soil, imparts a crisp minerality, elegant flavor, and a precision that endures over time. These characteristics emerge on the nose with notes of ripe citrus, lemon zest, white flowers, a hint of toasted almond, and a subtle hint of brioche. On the palate, it is creamy but never exuberant, with a subtle mousse texture, a complex structure, and a finish that breathes through nuances of limestone, sea salt, and hints of white fruit. Les Chetillons Blanc de Blancs 2008 serves as a sensory guide in the Pierre Peters range, a wine that demonstrates how the house can elevate a simple raw material (Chardonnay) into a tale of maturity, refinement, and longevity. It is capable of accompanying distinguished moments but also of aging with dignity, offering a measure of style for those seeking a Champagne that stands the test of time. In the STELT positioning, this vintage embodies precision, understated elegance and depth, an authoritative reading of Champagne viticulture.
