Pierre Péters
Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Had this in late 2019, this is a new batch, a Fav! Rodolphe Péters took over the reins of this venerable estate in the southern Côte des Blancs in 2008, becoming the 4th generation to lead since the estate was founded in 1919, under the name Camille Péters. 100% Chardonnay, Crisp, fine mousse with steady flow of bubbles. Citrus, and biscuit aromas. Fresh fruit flavors of peach, apples and lemons, smooth and dry. Long mineral finish ending with elegance. Nice! Consistent quality!

Before i continue with the rest of the wines. I gotta tell y’all, i had one hell of a month after bottlerock and it’s not even summer yet. We celebrate birthdays, and we also had to celebrate a dear friend’s life. So with all the ups and downs I’ve witnessed i want you guys to know that these wines were enjoyed with, and in honor of some brilliant people.
Also, that special occasion that you were saving that wonderful bottle of wine might just come sooner than you think. We never know what day may come where we’re faced with our final moments, but you’ll always rest assured you drank that stunning bottle of La Tâche with the ones you love most... when you’re ready or what ever, just something to think about

Disgorged July ‘16. Simple. Color implied not much age to base wine. Mediocre finish. Not really Grand Cru in character.

Really digging this cuvée, the Cuvée de Reserve is really showing a strong chalky core laced with crisp pomme and vibrant citrus fruit. Really dialed in from last disgorgement tasted, or perhaps just younger and more coiled. There’s always a healthy dollop of Le Mesnil character evident in the Côte Blancs blend, and I find its cut and raciness absolutely perfect after a hot day in the vineyards. 12/2016 disgorgement.

A fitting finish to a day of tasting in Napa. Crisp, beautiful acidity and mesmerizing fruit. Hard not to love this one!
