Pierre Peters - “Cuvee de Reserve” Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne NV (750ml)

The Pierre Peters Cuvee de Reserve, a Grand Cru Chardonnay Champagne, gains complexity from incorporating at least 40% reserve wine in its blend. This practice, inspired by the Soléra Method, utilizes a perpetual reserve started in 1988, containing over 20 different vintages.

Aromatically, it begins with floral and fruity notes, evolving into almond and fresh bread, and concludes with citrus and green apple, creating a smooth and fresh impression.

Taste-wise, it starts boldly, blending finesse with smoothness. Dominated by white fruit flavors like lemon and pear, and floral acacia notes, it has a lively, taut mid-palate. The finish is long-lasting, showcasing pure citrus flavors and a hint of salinity, reflecting its primary sourcing from Le Mesnil sur Oger, complemented by contributions from other esteemed Grand Cru villages like Oger, Cramant, and Avize.
