Notes from the past

“Open, effusive and a real delight to taste. Soaring aromatics and soft curves give this 2019-base Champagne tons of sheer appeal. Apricot, tangerine peel, spice and dried flowers abound in this racy, open-knit Champagne. The Cuvee de Reserve is rarely this charming at this stage. The slightly lower dosage of 5 grams per litre works so well.” Antonio Galloni 92 points (May 2023)

“Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs Grands Crus of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant. Crucially this cuvée is almost based on a reserve system rather than a year, with 50% of the blend coming from Peters’ perpetual reserve and the remainder from the 2019 vintage. It is in quite superb form, based on a vintage Rodolph Peters may be the best of the last 20 years. Delicate layers of fresh fruit – pear, pineapple, clementine – are far from obvious, tucked into a palate saturated with pure Côte des Blancs energy from the reserves. This remains one of the benchmark NV Blanc de Blancs, at its best with up to five years in the cellar.” Tim Atkin 92 points (December 2022)

“The NV Brut Cuvée de Réserve Grand Cru is fabulous. A Champagne of tension and energy, the Cuvée de Réserve has real presence, not to mention tons of class. Citrus, jasmine, mint and crushed rocks are some of the many nuances that race out of the glass. In this release, the Cuvée de Réserve has a light tropical quality that is both exotic and hugely appealing. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2021.” Antonio Galloni 92 points (May 2021)
