“Pierre Péters is a hidden treasure of Champagne . . . and the prices are laughable considering the quality of the wines.”- Richard Juhlin, 4000 Champagnes

As demand for this wine gets higher and higher, sadly we get less and less. Estate grown Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from Mesnil-sur-Oger. Bright, balanced, beautiful bubbly that is a pure joy to drink.

Founded in 1919 Pierre Peters is one of the original “grower Champagnes” and has quickly established itself as a darling of wine industry professionals and Champagne connoisseurs in the US. Yet with just 18 hectares of vines spread across the Cotes de Blancs they just don’t produce much wine, and very little is imported. So what makes this wine so special? The vines. With Grand Cru holdings in the finest sites of the Cotes de Blancs, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, and Cramant their vineyards are the envy of even the greatest producers in the region. The Reserve de Cuvee is the family’s flagship, their most recognized bottling. A blend of more than 20 vintages of reserve wines dating back to 1988, 100% Chardonnay grown exclusively in the family’s Grand Cru holdings of the Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. This latest disgorgement is based on the 2016 vintage (a vintage in which Chardonnay fared particularly well), with up to 40% reserve wines completing the blend. It’s not to be missed.

“Vibrant and mouthwatering, this elegant blanc de blancs is driven by a chalky underpinning, while flavors of poached pear, apple blossom and pickled ginger play on the fine and lacy mousse. Lovely, with a long, minerally finish.” - WS

“The NV Blanc de Blancs Cuvée de Réserve is such a gorgeous wine. Bright, mineral and savory, with attractive tropical accents, the Cuvée de Réserve offers striking nuance and tons of class. This release is based on 2016, with reserve wines that go back to 1988. Partially blocked malolactic fermentation helps preserve a measure of freshness, but what impresses most is the wine’s total sense of balance. For readers who want to know what the Côte des Blancs is all about, without spending the money for an elite cuvée, this is the place to start. In a word: impressive. Dosage is 6.5-7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2020.” - VM

“The latest rendition of Péters' NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée de Réserve offers up a lovely bouquet of citrus oil, pear, pastry cream, dried white flowers, hazelnuts and crushed chalk. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and elegant, with ripe but racy acids, a delicate pinpoint mousse and a long, saline finish. As usual, this is an immensely refined Champagne that exemplifies the timeless style of this Mesnil-based Chardonnay specialist.” – WA
