NV Pierre Péters Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Cuvée de Réserve- France, Champagne (12/20/2019)
Third time in three months having the May 2019 disgorgement, and first time actually getting more than a tasting pour or two. Laura and I both loved the tastes we had the first two times, and this bottle just added full confirmation. The 5/2019 disgorgement is a special wine. It’s already more complex than most NV blends that have had a couple of years to settle in. It has floral, yeasty, citrus, and saline tones that swirl like a vortex. It shows fabulous richness, and great precision at the same time. It’s a special wine.
Good to hear. Feel like this wine went through a rough patch for a few years with '10 and '11-dominated blends. Sounds like I need to try it again. Has sentimental value as it’s the wine that first got me into grower Champagne. Unfortunately price is all over the place on this wine.
I agree that this is a particularly good release. Pricing in my home market has gotten a bit crazy, but I suspect that might be a localized problem and not a general one.
David always a winner!
