| Description: | Winemaker NotesâThe wine is limpid, pale gold in color with hints of green which are typical of Chardonnay. The mousse is fine and regular with a pretty ribbon of bubbles. The first approach is both flowery and fruity, next come the notes of almond and fresh bread finishing with touches of citrus and green apple leaving a graceful impression of smoothness and freshness. On the palate, the first impression is frank, associating both finesse and smoothness, and is dominated by white flower fruits (lemon and pear) and floral notes (acacia). The mid-palate is nervy and taut. The finish is persistent with pure citrus flavors and a twist of salinity which confirms the fact that the majority of the fruit is sourced from the great village of Le Mesnil sur Oger; the balance coming from the equally prestigious Grand Cru villages of Oger, Cramant and Avize.â97 Points | WSâWith all of their Grand Cru vineyards on the limestone veins that run through the Cote des Blancs, the grower Pierre PĂŠters makes sleek, racy Champagnes that are jewelsâ"ravishingly beautiful, snowy, crystalline. Perfect for a holiday celebration. Their brisk minerality plays on your palate like high notes on a piano. Yet the flavors are deeply resonant and complex. There's something wonderfully salty about them, like sea spray on wet rocks, and something familiar yet surprising, like oranges tied up in ribbons of vanilla. The Pierre PĂŠters winery was founded in 1919 and is now run by the fourth generation. Many of the family's vineyards are specifically in the heralded Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.â - Karen MacNeil, WineSpeed 96 Points | JSâAromas of Italian croissant, cooked apple and tarte tatin. Medium-bodied with a roundness and freshness. Steely. Floats on the palate like you are in the clouds. 75% from 2019 and 25% perpetual reserve. 5g/L dosage.â - James Suckling |
