PIERRE PETERS
Pierre Péters owns 18 hectares of land, the vast majority of which are in the enviable grand cru villages of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant (mostly Le Mesnil). As one might expect, the estate does not use insecticides, and uses cover crops to control. What’s unexpected is that while yields are kept low, they are never brought too low, at the risk of losing the finesse associated with blanc de blancs, according to Rodolphe Péters.
This estate’s top vintage champagne, known alternately as Cuvée Spéciale and Les Chétillons is considered one of the great single-vineyard champagnes of the Côte des Blancs. The wine is made from three small parcels in the vineyard of Les Chétillons, one of the best and oldest sites in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, with vine age between 35 and 68 years old. The predominance of Mesnil fruit in Cuvée Spéciale creates an extremely mineral, age-worthy wine, that still manages to remain lavish and complex. Offered here are pristine examples of this magical cuvée going back to the outstanding 1988 vintage in both bottles and magnums
