Pierre Peters Blanc de Blanc NV MAGNUM
"The Pierre Péters Champagnes stand out for their crystalline precision, energy and nuance, which makes the, reference-points for what Chardonnay is all about in the Côtes des Blancs and Mesnil in particular for the Chétillons. When I want to drink brilliant, pure Blanc des Blancs, I often reach for the wines of this small, family-owned estate." Antonio Galloni

"Very few champagnes more eloquently articulate their terroirs than those of Pierre Peters. On my first encounter with the young Rodolphe Peters, three hours of exploring the fruits of three decades left me mesmerised by the remarkable capacity of the chardonnay vine to extract the salty minerality of the Cotes de Blancs' finest grand crus and preserve it in its wines for time eternal. I left with the realisation of another dimension to champagne, one in which minerality assumes a personality all of its own." Tyson Stelzer

The non-vintage bottlings always incorporate a significant proportion of reserve wines which are uniquely aged and assembled over decades by saving back a portion of each year's blend and adding it to a solera system.

Since 1997, the reserve wines contain portions of 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995 and 1996 along with all vintages since, excluding ‘99 and ’03 which were either too fat or too heavy. Usually it is close to a 50/50 blend of reserve and the current years base vintage with dosage tending towards the low side, hovering around 6 g/l.
