Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 17, 2021 - Base year of blend: 2017, 40% reserve wines, disgorged: May 2020, dosage: 6-7g/l.
First time with a Péters Champagne. We had this side-by-side with a Grande Réserve from the same disgorgement. Initially, this was relatively closed. It left me wanting and was mostly showing fruit with a tad of sweetness. After about 1h of air this became enjoyable. The nose still showed a lot of fruit (citrus, green apple and unripe pear) with some roasted nuts, toasted bread and chalk dust. The palate is quite balanced, not too taught. Although less creamy than the Grande Réserve, it still feels pretty smooth before showing an edge with more minerality (chalk) and salinity on the finish. The more air this saw, the more the salinity and chalk would take place. Good but on the pricey side over here.

I'll wait a couple of years before drinking the others.

Cuvée de réserve: 40% 2017 Blend + 60% current vintage. 24 to 36 months on lees.
