The 2009 Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is remarkably polished and balanced throughout, with plenty of vintage 2009 radiance. Apricot pit, smoke, peach and spice overtones take shape in a striking Champagne. Although quite open and expressive today, the 2009 is also holding back a considerable amount of pure, unbridled power as well as potential. Ripe and racy to the core, yet with no excess weight, the 2009 stands out for its exceptional balance. Dosage was 4.7 grams per liter, a bit higher than normal. Péters told me he thought the drier vintage needed a little bit more sugar. Disgorged December 1, 2014.Inc. TAX€3,148.50 -

Aromas of crushed chalk, dried white flowers and lemon oil introduce the 2011 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les Chétillons Cuvée Speciale, a bright, medium to full-bodied wine that's as pure and incisive as usual, with a delicate but tight-knit core that's structured around a tangy line of acidity, concluding with a precise, searingly mineral finish. It's an elegant, understated vintage of Les Chétillons that will come into its own with five or six years on cork.Inc. TAX€2,014.82 -

The 2012 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is just as impressive as it was earlier this year, although it appears to have shut down a touch since then.

Full golden-yellow colour; very toasty old-wine bouquet which gradually opened up and revealed more with time in the glass.

Unfurling in the glass with incipiently complex aromas of citrus oil, wheat toast, fresh peach and crisp orchard fruit, the newly released 2012 Vintage Brut is full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. Even though it's still a little reserved after its recent disgorgementIn Bond€252.00 -

Mid plus gold in colour, with an active broad mousse. Big and rich style, with ripe and developed aromas, red apple, meyer lemon and some autolytic character. The acidity is fresh, very long and precise palate with lovely froth and a touch of stem ginger notes.In Bond€236.00 -

Tasted from magnum, Piper-Heidsieck's 2018 Vintage opens with an aromatic medley of pear, freshly baked bread, orange zest and dried apricot mingling with white peach, wheat toast and a subtle trace of smoky reduction. Medium- to full-bodied, it is ample and textural, underpinned by ripe yet vibrant acidity and chalky structuring extract, culminating in a long, delicately toasty finish. Disgorged in January 2024, it carries a dosage of seven grams per liter.In Bond€292.00 -

This 100% Chardonnay uses base wine from the excellent 2013 vintage, which is generally a better vintage for Chardonnay than 2012, with 35% reserve wines added. It has a lovely green-tinged hue with exceptional poise and depth - real complexities here from the late-picked fruit, harvested into October. It has enough nuance for gastronomy, especially roast turbot with cèpes but also sole. Still under-the-radar enough to be a bargain.In Bond€317.00 -

NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Essentiel contains 30% reserve wines and was aged for five years on lees. Smoky reduction immediately sets the tone, offering a salty shortbread and wet oyster shell backdrop. The palate is wonderfully sinuous and taut, with the essential Blanc de Blancs brightness and slenderness bedded on smooth, yeasty reduction and accentuated by tiny bubbles that create a creamy mousse. This is a smoldering, sinuous Blanc de Blancs—utterly moreish and elegant. Dosage is 4.8 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2023.In Bond€283.00 -
The Real Review (HH) (98)
Full golden-yellow colour; very toasty old-wine bouquet which gradually opened up and revealed more with time in the glass. Aromas of toasted bread, toffee, vanilla, apricot, blood orange, quince paste; the palate full, rich and very dry, the penetrating acidity powering a very long finish. A very mature Champagne, not for everyone, but for those who enjoy aged Champagne, it's a joy. The rating is purely about pleasure. (60/40 pinot noir / chardonnay. 4 grams/litre dosage; disgorged in January 2022)In Bond€490.00
