 Tasted by kakpoo on 5/4/2024 & rated 91 points: Disgorged April 2017, from 2014 base vintage. It’s great to catch one of these in the perfect spot: I opened a 2015 disgorgement last week that was past prime or flawed… but not corked. I opened a 2021 disgorgement that tasted tight, linear and focused but lacked intensity and pleasure. This 2017 disgorgement seems to be in the ideal spot: aromas are medium plus intensity with notes of white butter, popcorn, lemon curd, lemon pith and crushed rocks and maybe a hint of tarragon. These flavors continue on the palate. The finish is crisp and long for entry level Champagne, but at $70+ these should hardly be considered “entry level.” The Perlage is a bit rough and gritty but really this is nitpicking. This bottle is one of the best Cuvée de Reserve bottles that I have tasted. However, it lacks the depth and pleasure of a Reserve Oubliee, and doesn’t come anywhere close to the complexity of Les Chetillons, hence the 91 point score, but I am very happy with this bottle.

 Tasted by Floral on 5/2/2024 flawed bottle: This was off. Lacked complexity and depth. (1355 views)
 Tasted by acyso on 4/6/2024 & rated 90 points: Birthday party (Chicago, IL): From jeroboam. Disgorged 2013. The very stubby custom cork was likely responsible for the lack of fizz, but the density and concentration on this was outstanding. Really drank like a white Burgundy. Intense, minerally, and full on the palate. This wine should only be consumed in formats larger than fifths. (2615 views)
 Tasted by VoteferPedro on 3/31/2024: Coriander seed aroma on nose (bright lemony) and then a marvelous Bubbles turns to foam on the tongue and when it recedes a concentrated bright lemony fruit lime peel remains

this is fun! (2180 views)
 Tasted by RockinCabs on 3/30/2024 & rated 92 points: The reserve from peters has a pear, lemon and mineral note. Chiseled structure and firm acidity is balanced by a nice brioche and orchard fruit note. Terrific. (2079 views)
 Tasted by Bonesetter on 3/12/2024 & rated 92 points: Great champagne. (2864 views)
 Tasted by Bob H on 3/9/2024: Very good - brisk acidity, brioche on the nose. I like this. (2774 views)
 Tasted by Aravind Asok on 3/8/2024: Pop and pour. 10/21 disg. Wow. Sweet lemon and lime on the nose, with some soft vanilla. On the palate: stunning acidity, but good richness to balance. Soft lemon, apple, caramel cream, soft ginger. Lovely elegant mousse and a long finish. Wow, fantastic. (2281 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 3/1/2024: Crisp and beautiful as always. (2646 views)
 Tasted by 831900_ on 2/25/2024 & rated 91 points: Second go-around with this wine, and it's growing on me. Lemon peel, biscuit, refreshing bubbles, clean if overly so finish. Disgorged July 2023. (2582 views)
 Tasted by Amberissey on 2/2/2024 & rated 90 points: Initial nose of Meyer lemon and blanched almonds. Also crumbly shortbread. A more sour lemon in the palette, a pretty intense chalky minerality. Quite mouth puckering. (2894 views)
 Tasted by paintinginacave on 1/27/2024 & rated 90 points: Bottle No: 1243674. Base year of the blend: 2020. Disgorgement date: 13/04/2023. 40% reserve wine composed of Chardonnay from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs. Dosage: 6 to 7 g / L.

Opened a hour in advance. Pours a pale gold. Opens up with mayor lemon, freshly foraged white flowers, polished steel, and blanched almonds. The palate is pitch perfect; expertly oscillating between tartness and salinity. (2529 views)
 Tasted by asparagus on 1/26/2024 & rated 89 points: good. but not inspiring. a bit meh (2452 views)
 Tasted by jsmorris707 on 1/21/2024 & rated 94 points: Consistently delicious! (2577 views)
 Tasted by vagrantone on 1/21/2024 & rated 90 points: this Champagne showed much better here.
a great brunch pairing.
well defined BdB character with plenty of citrus fruit, good acidity and some yeast autolysis character though still on the lighter, fruit driven side.
Enjoyable. (2707 views)
 Tasted by Adrian Chmielarz on 1/20/2024 & rated 92 points: Top tier entry level champagne. Chalk, cream, warm fruit -- all with great balance and freshness. Great aperitif. Simple but hedonistic at the same time. (2255 views)
 Tasted by Boone's Farm on 1/7/2024 & rated 90 points: Chalk and mineral driven. Better after 20 minutes of air. Not complex but a nice champagne (2825 views)
 Tasted by Teknsteel on 1/1/2024 & rated 91 points: From memory. Medium straw. Fruity and floral nose. White chocolate on the palate. Fine-tuned. Paired with chips and shellfish. Went well with both. (2310 views)
 Tasted by JWS84 on 12/31/2023: Pale gold, super fresh and crisp, with great chalkiness and minerality. A classic Blanc de Blancs. (2365 views)
 Tasted by henryfriendly on 12/31/2023 & rated 91 points: Disgorged April 2023. Brioche, lemon loaf, saline, chalk nose. Very fine bubbles, bright acid. More generous than the typical young blanc de blancs. I like it a lot. (2019 views)
 Tasted by Eric Wright on 12/25/2023 & rated 91 points: Lovely fresh NV champagne. Light and fruity on the nose with just a hint of bricohe (2412 views)
 Tasted by ccn on 12/24/2023 & rated 89 points: Pleasant but slightly neutral (2149 views)
 Tasted by DonDon on 12/19/2023 & rated 92 points: Light and delicious. This is 2015 base, disgorged in 2018 which I’ve aged since release. Highly effervescent. Lovely light golden colour. Quite citrus and green apple but with good texture. Happy I have 11 left! (2756 views)
 Tasted by "Rhône Rider" on 12/16/2023 & rated 91 points: Mineralsk kalkpreget nese med sitron, gule epler, brioche. Fresh, gulfrukt, brioche og kritt i munnen. Meget bra balansert syre innpakket i mineraler. Meget ren og pen! Bra lengde. (2668 views)

Terry Theise Estate Selections, 2011 Champagne Catalog (6/1/2011)
(NV Pierre Péters "Cuvée de Réserve" Brut) ($62.00) The ’08-based wine, now shipping, is the best NV the estate has ever shown me, and surely the best since the amazing ’02-based NV. Though this wine is in principle a constantly refreshed solera (half is the new vintage and half the previous blend; Billiot among others does the same), and though the goal is to mitigate variations, I find variations anyway, which is just the way I like it. It’s disgorged 12/10 and has an absolutely rapturous perfume, as if someone entered the room toting some cologne; the palate while youthfully snippy, is strikingly flowery, with minerals playing a gauzy background chord, so exotic you think it was fermented with peonies and wisteria soaking in the juice. The oolong-y length is mind boggling.

Sommelier Journal, October 2008
(NV 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. Hot Picks

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent 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.

Sub-Region:

Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) 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 wine-making 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 in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
