Opening in the glass to reveal notes of fresh almond, iodine, clams and citrus fruit, it is flamboyant and charming. Less youthfully austere and more demonstrative than the 2016 vintage rendition, it is Les Chétillons with a more powerful musculature, balanced by a bright spine of acidity and concluding with a long, saline finish. More mineral-laced than the Les Montjolys of the same year, one will want to consider laying down the bottles as they refine with age. It’s the first release where Péters decided to extend aging sur lattes for six more months (from six years to six and a half years), followed by a year post-disgorgement, a decision based on tasting.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes used to compose this vintage come from three aged parcels located in the beautiful terroir of Les Chétillons at Le Mesnil sur Oger. The minerality of the chalky soil is evident in this 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay. As always with a vintage Champagne, it is produced exclusively using the grapes from one harvest year and only during the finest years. - Winery Notes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GRAND CRU SELECTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47436254118194,"sku":"50000000000150","price":289.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/cHETI_1_221a7664-07ab-40bf-88c1-1d8a5353ad86.png?v=1779309695","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2017-pierre-peters-champagne-brut-blanc-de-blancs-cuvee-speciale-les-chetillons-grand-cru","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
