WTN: Pierre Péters Cuvée de Réserve

by David M. Bueker » Fri Dec 20, 2019 10:19 pm

NV Pierre Péters Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Cuvée de Réserve - France, Champagne (12/20/2019)
Third time in three months having the May 2019 disgorgement, and first time actually getting more than a tasting pour or two. Laura and I both loved the tastes we had the first two times, and this bottle just added full confirmation. The 5/2019 disgorgement is a special wine. It’s already more complex than most NV blends that have had a couple of years to settle in. It has floral, yeasty, citrus, and saline tones that swirl like a vortex. It shows fabulous richness, and great precision at the same time. It’s a special wine.

2015 or a very early 2016 base release. I also tend to want more time after disgorgement, but this release has been consistently amazing.

Good to know. The local importer has a tasting on Tuesday (with Chiquet, Gimmonet, Larmndier and Vilmart in tow as well).
