Description
“The Pierre Péters Champagnes stand out for their crystalline precision, energy and nuance, which makes them reference-points for what Chardonnay is all about in the Côtes des Blancs and Mesnil in particular for the Chétillons. When I want to drink brilliant, pure Blanc des Blancs, I often reach for the wines of this small, family-owned estate.” ANTONIO GALLONI
About this wine: 100% Chardonnay. A selection of 4 top parcels of Pierre Peters’ most beautiful crus of the Cote des Blancs (Le Mesnil, Avize, Cramant, Oger) makes up the base vintage from 2021, blended with 20% of the best of their Perpetual Reserve based on the 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1996 vintages. This Cuvee is aged at least 36 months on the lees before disgorgement. Dosage – 2 g/L With its low dosage, the Extra Brut is a purer style of blanc de blancs. It has a soft, floral character on the nose, with notes of hawthorn and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine has a fine mousse with delicate, persistent bubbles. The flavours are layered and complex with notes of citrus fruits, fresh pastry and roasted almonds that linger on the finish.
92 points, Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate “Opening with potted ginger and white flowers on the clear, fresh, precise and chalky nose, this is a pure, fresh, elegant, beautifully dry and chalky grand cru with an expressive, stimulating iodine-inflected finish that reveals a persistent structure and freshness. This is a damned serious and chalky Blanc de Blancs.”
