2000 Pierre Peters Les Chetillons Oenotheque Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut, Champagne, France
95 Points - Vinous
“The 2000 Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée Speciale Les Chetillons Oenothèque is a second release from bottles aged on cork rather than crown seal. Candied lemon peel, almonds, white flowers and truffles all lift from the glass in a weightless, airy Champagne endowed with tremendous balance and pure class. The perfumed, expressive finish is a thing of beauty. What a gorgeous wine this is. Disgorged December 2, 2013. (AG)”

“A ripe Dom Perignon that was easy to love in its youth, with its exotic-yellow fruit and low acidity. Many feared for its longevity, yet those fears have proved unfounded. After navigating an awkward phase (when the bouquet became redolent of caramel toffee), the wine has shed weight and returned to fruit. Now, a generous, mouth-filling Champagne, showing oily viscosity from mature Chardonnay. I'd drink up soon, but still very good indeed.(JM)” Review Date: 02/2023
