Pierre Peters NV Grand Cru Extra Brut
A delicious Champagne. The wine spent 5 years on lees before release and is 65% 2005 and 35% 2004. 100% Chardonnay mostly from Le Mesnil with some fruit from Avize, Cramant and Oger. The time on lees shows through in the beautiful bread dough palate, backed up by notes of green apple. The acidity is accentuated by the persistent bead. This is quite full bodied and pairs very well with food. Wrapped together these separate components harmonize into a wonderful balance that shows simultaneous power and elegance. 2g/l dosage. Fantastic.
