This is a breathtaking set of wines from Rodolphe Péters. Readers can't go wrong with any of these four wines. Today 2008, the base year for the Cuvée de Réserve and Rosé d'Albane, seems to be the recent vintage Péters is most excited about. According to Péters, the cloudy summer that year allowed just enough sun to get through to ripen the fruit but not bake away the acidities. The fruit came in with natural alcohols in the 10% range and acidities in the 9-9.5% range. Of course wine is more than numbers, but Champagne fans know what those readings mean bright, powerful and potentially very long-lived wines. Peters told me 2008 is very much in the style of 1996, except that he waited three to four days later to pick. Okay, so when do we taste the 2008 Chétillons?
