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 2021. aastakäigust, see baasvein küpseb esmalt 7 kuud settega kontaktis terasmahutites, ülejäänud 45% on Perpetual Reserve (rohkem kui 25 aastakäiku ulatudes tagasi aastasse 1988). Teistkordne kääritamine pudelis kestis 24-30 kuud. Dosage on 6 g/l kohta ning settelt eemaldamine toimus 21.06.2024.

“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

“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

“For an introduction into the range of Pierre Péters, the NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée de Réserve is the perfect choice. It’s based on the incisive 2021 vintage and completed by a 50% component of the perpetual blend, aged in a variety of vessels (stainless steel tanks, large oak casks and concrete).” This is the most floral wine in the range, wafting from the glass with aromas of honeysuckle, citrus fruit, acacia and beeswax. Shaped by the high-acid vintage profile, expect a bright, lightly structured Champagne laden with racy acids and a focused finish. It was disgorged in May 2024 with a dosage of six grams per liter.” The Wine Advocate 91 points

“The NV Brut Cuvée de Reserve Grand Cru (base 2021) is a fine introduction to this range. Soft, open-knit and creamy, the Cuvée de Reserve is wonderfully engaging right out of the gate. Lemon confit, dried flowers, chamomile, baked apple tart and spice are front and center. All the elements are so well put together. This is an exquisite Champagne from Rodolphe Peters. Dosage is 5.5 grams per liter. Drinking window 2024-2030.” Antonio Galloni Vinous 91 points
