Cuvée de Réserve Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru by Pierre Péters: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour
The colour is crystalline, with a beautiful pale gold hue adorned with a few green reflections, a typical feature of the grape variety. The effervescence is regular, with a persistent strand of bubbles.

Nose
The first nose presents floral and fruity notes. As the wine is aerated, notes of almond, fresh bread and citrus fruits blend harmoniously with great finesse and freshness.

Palate
Frank, the attack is seduced by this champagne’s finesse and roundness. Delicious aromas of citrus and white fruit blend with notes of fresh nuts and then creamier notes. The persistent finish reveals grapefruit and tangerine aromas which, combined with a beautiful minerality, give this wine a fresh and elegant expression.
