NV Pierre Peters, Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 1×1.5L

Vinous 89

The NV Cuvée de Réserve, based on 2011, is laced with peach, apricot, mint and spice notes. Some of the underripe qualities of the vintage come through in the slightly green, grainy tannins. Overall, this is a pretty, mid-weight Champagne to drink upon release and over the next few years. Disgorged January 7, 2013. [Antonio Galloni, 01/05/2014]
