The 2010 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is quite open and accessible, with lovely balance and tons of class. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later, as the flavors are starting to turn towards the more mature end of the spectrum and the wine is showing the first signs of aromatic and flavor development. Dried pear, smoke, dried flowers, mint, candied lemon peel linger on the close. Disgorged April 2017. Dosage is 4.2 grams per liter.

The 2010 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les Chetillons Cuvée Speciale shows an elegant and flowery nose with up-front fruit and refined mocha bean, brioche and caramel aromas. Delicate and fruity on the palate, this is a round and very charming but also pure and well-structured Chardonnay with nice maturity. It is not as energetic and complex as the 2011 perhaps, but it is very intense. "2010 is an average vintage with very feminine wines with white fruit flavors but less chalkiness compared to 2011," says Rodolphe Péters. Disgorged in October 2017 with a dosage of four grams per liter. Tasted in April 2018.
