Pierre Peters Champagne, Cuvée de Réserve, Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger Grand Cru, Blanc de Blancs NV

The Pierre Péters estate, situated in the heart of the "Côte des Blancs" in the village of Le Mesnil sur Oger, has been a family house for six generations and has produced Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagnes since 1919. They do everything possible to express the chalky soil of their great terroirs as passionate craftsmen.

Champagne grower-producer, their wines come exclusively from their own vineyards. The Péters house currently operates just over 19 hectares of Chardonnay, mainly located in the communes of Le Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant.

The Péters family has developed from generation to generation, its own selection of grapes (mass selection). They have been able to maintain and age vineyards which are now 30-years old on average. Each year in respect of the environment, they adapt their cultivation methods to obtain healthy grapes so that the Champagne expresses more precisely the richness, subtlety and the elegance of the great "terroirs" of the Côte des Blancs.

These are sleek, racy champagnes, expressing a classic character of Côte des Blancs chardonnay. They are marked by their fine acidity and prominent minerality, yet while they are always brisk and chalky. “We have a lot of acidity and a lot of minerality in all our wines,” says Rodolphe Péters. “We want to build the structure of our wines around both acidity and minerality, not acidity alone".
