The 2016 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Les Montjolys Cuvée Speciale Brut displays more breadth in the range and pours a medium straw hue. It reveals a delicate smoky profile with more savory aromas of ripe golden pears toasted bread lemon balm and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied the palate gains in salinity with a crunchy feel a spritely and elegant mousse and a great finish. It?s prime for holding another year or so and drinking over the following 15 years or more as it?s surely going to improve as it leans into its more tertiary characteristics.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2016 Brut Cuvée Spéciale Montjolys is all precision tension and energy with that extra kick of exuberance that is so typical of this site. Tangerine peel spice lemon confit pastry and dried flowers are all beautifully amplified in this resonant super-expressive Blanc de Blancs. Soft contours and an exotic flair add to its undeniable allure. There's real palate presence and overall depth here. Gorgeous tropical overtones linger. This is such a classy wine. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2023. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024 Pierre Péters is among the grower estates that have moved into what is almost a new category of grower estates with a global brand presence. The wines are very fine as usual. I was especially impressed with the L'Esprit de 2019 and the 2016 Les Chétillons which have really come along over the last year.

Les Montjolys a single vineyard in Le Mesnil with an unusually rich silex soil tends to be a fleshier more immediate blanc de blancs than Les Chétillons highlighting just how radical the subtle changes in soil profile can prove here. It's satin-smooth with delicate blossom orange citrus and creamy nut nuances through a medium-bodied palate of subtle insistent build and persistence. Discreet alluring and fragrant it makes a fine counterpiece to Chétillon's nerve and tension. (Drink between 2024-2032)
