| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 123 notes) | | | Tasted by spacewrangler on 2/7/2010 & rated 91 points: Brioche, buttery and creamy-texture - one of the better bottles I've had of the NV. Lots of variability over the years it seems, but at the price point it's hard to beat for a BdB. (85 views) | | | Tasted by cst778 on 1/13/2010 & rated 91 points: Very full, rich nose. It had more toastiness and nutiness that I would have expected from a BdB. The acidity was pretty sharp at first but mellowed out after a few minutes. Very rich, mouth-filling champagne with a long finish. Great stuff! (554 views) | | | Tasted by JJL on 1/11/2010 & rated 89 points: Similar to previous bottles, kept in the fridge too long, show very little when cold, best served a little warmer. (570 views) | | | Tasted by ken-yyz on 1/10/2010 & rated 92 points: Enjoyed at new years 2001 with shaan & stefan. This was the NV released 3 years ago (in 2006) and is our second last bottle. It's a wonderful, complex and almost heady champagne. Was starting to show some mature complexity along with the hazelnut, white stone fruit core. Very much enjoyed by everyone.

This was the driest of the sparklers we drank. (582 views) | | | Tasted by David J Cooper on 12/30/2009: Light yellow, great mousse. Lots of really nice fresh fruit, lemon and apple. Slight sweetness. Very nice long dry finish. Delicious.
This is the latest batch of Peter's NV. Very fresh and delicious. (867 views) | | | Tasted by mjfaulkner on 12/26/2009 & rated 89 points: Crisply effervescent. Searing acidity, with hints of granny smith apple, lemon. Clean finish. (1041 views) | | | Tasted by carnyc on 12/25/2009 & rated 91 points: Enjoyed on Xmas eve with smoked sable and sturgeon. Nose: Lemon zest, minerals, yeast, bread; bright and fresh Palate: Flavors mirrored the nose; superb acidity; clean and balanced. An amazing pairing with the smoked fish. First time trying this producer, and very impressed. Solid QPR. (1087 views) | | | Tasted by dougsmith on 12/24/2009 & rated 89 points: +1 on W8N4SQN's 12/13/09 review.

Bracing acidity, green apples and bosc pear flavors. (1484 views) | | | Tasted by Vino Me on 12/8/2009 & rated 92 points: 2009 Famous Liquors Champagne Tasting (Lombard, Illinois): Retailer tasting. First time I have had a champagne from this producer. Very impressive. The grapes are from 100% grand cru vineyards. 100% Chardonnay. Notes of lemon and lime and toast. Expressive finish. 92 points. (1705 views) | | | Tasted by JJL on 12/5/2009 & rated 89 points: Brought 2 bottles to dinner with friends, one was supposed to be a back-up, but everyone liked the first bottle so we opened the second. Not overly complex, but good acidty, yeasty, nuts, citrus, minerals, etc. Everything you expect in a decent Champagne, but unusually good considering I paid $30/bottle. I prefer this to the Pierre Peters '00. (1640 views) | | | Tasted by sunalsorises on 11/27/2009 & rated 90 points: Sharp acidity on the finish. Clean and precise up front but the finish was off. Wonder if a few years will round out the edges. (1683 views) | | | Tasted by wineismylife on 11/27/2009 & rated 90 points: WIML90. No notes. (1731 views) | | | Tasted by rnellans on 11/21/2009 & rated 90 points: Enjoyable but not great. Light yellow. Nose of apples and some citrus. Not a lot of yeast. Crisp acidity. (1757 views) | | | Tasted by Russell Faulkner on 11/16/2009: These halves never showed very well, and they are fully mature now, rich orange blossom, oxidative notes just creeping in.

| By Robert Bath, MS Sommelier Journal, October 2008 (N.V. Pierre Peters Blanc de Blancs Brut Cuvée de Réserve, Le Mesnil sur Oger, Champagne) If you haven’t already noticed, expect most Champagne prices to jump dramatically within the next year. Pierre Peters, a small grower producing grand cru Champagne of tête de cuvée quality, still provides good value. His reserve blanc de blancs (100% Chardonnay) features crisp acidity, balanced yeastiness, and great length. Importer Terry Theise introduced grower Champagne to the United States, and this is one of the pearls from his portfolio.

Le Champagne (Le comité interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne)
France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose.
