Product Description

Pierre Péters is a small family-run estate located in the center of the Côte des Blancs region, in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil sur Oger. The Péters family has been growing Chardonnay and producing Blanc de Blancs Champagne since 1919, releasing their first vintage under the family name in 1944.

Over the years, the family has worked together to maintain their vineyards, growing and selecting only the best grapes and producing superior grower Champagne, dedicated to expressing the terroir and varietal character in each of their wines.

The NV Pierre Péters Brut Cuvée Reserve is a blend of almost 15 years of harvests, made exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay. The wine displays fine foam and a vivacious thread of bubbles. At first, fruit and floral notes mingle on the nose, giving way to fresh bread and hazelnut aromas. Elegant citrus and pear flavors dance on the palate along with qualities of cream and mineral. This Champagne is incredibly smooth and fresh with a magnificently long finish.

International Wine Cellars (IWC) Review

IWC 91
(disgorged July 6, 2009) Pale yellow with tiny bubbles. Fresh, precise lemon and pink grapefruit aromas give way to deeper tangerine and melon with air. Fine-grained and focused citrus flavors stain the palate, gaining richness on the back end while retaining a tight, nervy personality. The citrus notes linger nicely on the long, sappy, mineral-tinged finish.

Wine Advocate (WA) Review

WA 89
The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvee de Reserve is full of chalkiness, minerality and smoke that add complexity to the focused Chardonnay fruit. The wine will be even better with a few years on the cork but today it shows plenty of potential. The Cuvee de Reserve is 2/3 Mesnil fruit with the remainder coming from vineyards in Cramant, Avize, Oger and Chouilly. The wine is aged in stainless steel, and this year’s version is 65% 2005 juice and 35% the prior year’s blend, a version of the solera system employed by a number of growers in the region. Disgorged: July 6, 2009, (not indicated on the label).
