PIERRE PETERS, BRUT, LE MESNIL-SUR-OGER, "CUVEE DE RESERVE" NV, Champagne 🍾 Tasting @ Hi-Time Wines Costa Mesa ( Forgot pic) — 14 days ago
June 2024 disgorgement; would’ve preferred to pop this +12 months (vs. 6), as it would certainly benefit from some time. A grower BdB favorite; of course made from 100% Chardonnay, coming from several Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs. The Cuvée de Réserve is a blend of more than twenty vintages, dating back to 1988 (via the solera method)! Peters considers this their “flagship” champ, even at the NV price point.
Firm upfront with a rather long finish. Sharp acidity; strong lemon, pale stone fruit, orange zest, and young tangerine notes. Medium body with pillows to carry you through. Steel vs. wood. 12% ABV. Simply delicious. — 3 months ago

Typical mesnil chard. Very crisp and clean. Pear, honey and toasted brioche. Great acidity and ample bubbles. — 16 days ago
