NV Pierre Peters - Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvee de Reserve (750ml)
The flagship cuvée from one of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger's most revered grower-producers, founded in 1919 and now in the hands of fourth-generation winemaker Rodolphe Péters. A blend incorporating at least 45% reserve wines drawn from a perpetual solera reserve going back to 1988, sourced from Grand Cru villages across the Côte des Blancs including Le Mesnil, Cramant, Avize, and Oger. The reserve wines bring a delicious, savory sense of sourdough richness to fresh clementine, lemon, and pale stone fruit, the tension of classic chalky villages still present but rounded out into a wine of impressive persistence — a benchmark NV Blanc de Blancs. Pale gold with green highlights, fine persistent mousse; taut and mineral-driven on the palate with chalk, slate, and gunflint wrapped in lemon zest, pear, and a subtle note of hazelnut, carrying through a long, elegant finish. Dosage 6–7 g/L. Drink now
