Pierre Peters 'Reserve Oubliee' Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut, Champagne, France NV

"Réserve Oubliée" Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut NV is one of Champagne's most distinctive non-vintage cuvées, offering a rare glimpse into the estate's history and meticulous cellar practices. Translating to "Forgotten Reserve," this wine is built around a remarkable collection of reserve wines that have been patiently aged for many years in stainless steel before being blended with more recent vintages. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, and Cramant, it beautifully marries youthful vibrancy with the depth and complexity only mature reserve wines can provide. Aromas of Meyer lemon, baked apple, white peach, toasted brioche, roasted hazelnut, honeycomb, and crushed chalk lead to a palate that is both creamy and remarkably precise. A silky mousse, vibrant acidity, and the hallmark chalky minerality of the Côte des Blancs culminate in a long, saline finish. Richly layered yet impeccably balanced, "Réserve Oubliée" is a compelling expression of Pierre Péters' signature style combining purity, elegance, and extraordinary complexity in every glass.

" The NV Champagne Reserve Oubilée Brut takes on more depth and lightly smoky aromas, with fresh bread dough and a hint of savory application as well as a bit of graham cracker or lemon bar. The palate also offers more depth and complexity, with saline and spice. Drink over the next 2 decades." Jeb Dunnuck 93
