A treat to drink a 98 Cheti. Initially muted, with air combines earthy truffle aromas with invigorating freshness. On the palate, it's powerful and acidic, with a liveliness that keeps a long aftertaste. This one seems to age at a glaciar pace and oushined a 2002. 92-94

The flavors are quite mature with strong notes of caramel and butterscotch but the acidity is still potent keeping it fresh and intense. Actually grew more youthful in the glass which is interesting.

Impressive Champagne with perfect intensity and wonderful aged flavors of dried lemons and clove spice. Cool and crisp with plenty of complexity on the long, ripe finish. Lovely stuff. Chetillons really needs age to express itself.

Served for Christmas Eve with freshly shucked oysters and it was delicious! More mature in the flavor profile with some oxidative notes and baked apple, but still had a nice mousse and freshness. Alas between two of this it disappeared all too quickly.

(Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Cuvée Speciale Blanc de Blancs Les Chetillons) Very reserved nose; tasty, high acidity, rock salt and mineral, almost steely with good grip; long finish 91+ pts.
