Didn't catch the disgorgement, but it was purchased in 2019, so this had plenty of time to develop, yet was quite fruity and mineral, and I would have thought it was more recently disgorged. Something ethereal and earthy here, I swear it had a saffron note, but we were eating saffron rice... Really cool stuff, in any case, intensely mineral, a little brothy, something like lobster bisque, beautiful black and red fruit, lots of citrus, subtle herbal and leafy tones too... Long fruity and earthy finish, that saffron thing really lingered, and I would swear it was independent of the rice... can't be sure but even 45 minutes after the rice it was showing this intriguing earthy/stony/floral saffron-like thing... Loved it. Wish I could drink this all the time!

Delicate and elegant rose with unique coppery colour, made from a blend of 55% Chardonnay and rose de saignee of PM, aged on its lees for 3+ years, 7 g/l of RS. Medium copper colour. Medium intensity aroma of dried strawberries, dry raspberries, hints of pink grapefruit and roses. Medium body, fine persistent mousse, velvety and vinous, slightly creamy but braced with freshness and red berry fruitiness, touch of spices, concludes with soft medium+ acidity.

Excellent aroma - clearly Chardonnay dominant with lots of yeast and brioche. Linear citrus flavor followed by a fruity red cherry and strawberry finish. Refined with a rustic edge. Very dry. Good, but kind of simple and linear.

Barolo Dinner (Mathilde Bistro - SF): Aromas of strawberry and flowers. Super young, but elegant and delicate on the attack, showing a bit more breadth on the back, with a savory bit of chalk. Better on the nose than on the slightly dilute - or maybe it's just tight. A bit underwhelming for Peters... or maybe it just needs a couple years sideways.

(NV Pierre Péters Rosé for Albane Brut) ($77.00) All ’08, and again a gob-smack of sheer prettiness on the nose; disgorged 9/10, and oh man this is absurdly great Rosé, perfectly mingling the sweetest face of Meunier with the sleek silky Chardonnay – which is focused on Mesnil, especially the climat Le Musette, which ripens early and gives small berries with less acidity, in part due to court-noué; it got the little extra slip of dosage I requested last year, and now all it does is ignite the dopey-grin reflex. “The goal is a real Rosé, not a Blanc de Blancs with pink color,” says Rodolphe. The Chardonnay is blended with macerated Meunier – there’s no PN in this wine.
