Pierre Peters Cuvee Speciale Montjolys 2014

The 2014 Champagne Cuvée Speciale Les Montjolys Brut is floral and has a hint of greenness, with notes of almond croissant, marzipan, lemon curd, and green melon. There is great tension on the palate, and it is more linear, as you might expect from the vintage. With a note of lime blossom, its floralty continues through the finish and lingers. Drink 2024-2044.

Like its Les Chétillons counterpart, the 2014 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Spéciale Les Montjolys is also showing beautifully. Wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, Meyer lemon, bee pollen and white flowers, it's full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with an ample core of fleshy, vibrant fruit that's girdled by bright acids and complemented by a pretty pinpoint mousse. Textural and expansive, it's a touch richer and more giving than the more chiseled Chétillons.
