Kirjeldus

Cuvée de Réserve on veinimaja visiitkaart ja kindlasti üks maailma parimaid non-vintage šampanjasid. 100% Chardonnay, mis tuleb kõigist neljast Grand Cru külast: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize ja Cramant. 55% segust on 2023. aastakäigust, ülejäänud 45% on Perpetual Reserve (solera süsteem, rohkem kui 25 aastakäiku ulatudes tagasi aastasse 1988). Baasvein küpseb 7 kuud settega kontaktis terasmahutites enne kui see segatakse “perpetual reserve” veiniga. Veini teistkordne kääritamine pudelis settel minimaalselt 24 kuud, dosage on 6 g/l kohta ning settelt eemaldamine toimus 12.01.2026.

“Rodolphe Péters’ extraordinary perpetual reserve of grand cru Chardonnay makes up 50% of this blend, coming into its own with the crispy, energetic, if rather uneven, 2021 base vintage as the other half. A beautiful toasted almond, fresh lemon syrup and floral honey nose flows into a palate where fruit and ageing characters meet in perfect harmony. There’s all the follow-through and narrow, brisk energy of the Côte des Blancs here, chalky and tense, yet it melts into deeper notions of nut oil and sourdough bread with a silky, flowing mousse. Perfectly pitched.” Decanter 93 points (2024 release)

“This elegant Champagne glides on the palate, with its fine and creamy mousse, while vibrant acidity and a subtle, chalky underpinning serve as a springboard for flavors of fresh-cut Gala apple, yellow plum, white blossoms and blanched almond. A touch of pleasantly bitter pink grapefruit pith is refreshing on the finish.” Wine Spectator 92 points (2024 release)
