NV Pierre Péters "Cuvée de Réserve" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of Pierre Péters "Cuvée de Réserve" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne (93DC, 92VN, 92WS, 91JS). Decanter: "Rodolphe Péters' extraordinary perpetual reserve of grand cru Chardonnay makes up 50% of this blend, coming into its own with the crispy, energetic, if rather uneven, 2021 base vintage as the other half. A beautiful toasted almond, fresh lemon syrup and floral honey nose flows into a palate where fruit and ageing characters meet in perfect harmony. There's all the follow-through and narrow, brisk energy of the Côte des Blancs here, chalky and tense, yet it melts into deeper notions of nut oil and sourdough bread with a silky, flowing mousse. Perfectly pitched. (TH)" (03/2024)
