Pierre Péters is among the grower estates that have moved into what is almost a new category of grower estates with a global brand presence. The wines are very fine, as usual. I was especially impressed with the L'Esprit de 2019 and the 2016 Les Chétillons, which have really come along over the last year.

It’s always a pleasure to taste with Rodolphe Péters, as his enthusiasm is palpable. The estate is still a construction zone, but there has been significant progress. As for the wines, I was especially taken with the 2017 and 2016-base Champagnes. Both vintages had more than their share of challenges, and yet the wines are strong. I also tasted the 2015 Les Chétillons. Two thousand-fifteen was a challenging vintage here from the start, so it is not a surprise that the Chétillons shows some of the signatures of a year where the wines often have some vegetal notes. In addition to the new releases, I also went back and revisited a few wines from last year that showed poorly in the offices of Péters’s US importer.

I have to say, I have mixed feelings about these new releases from Pierre Péters, a domaine that has long been a reference point in Champagne. The new releases of the Cuvée de Réserve and Réserve Oubliée are not exciting. I found them light and lacking in both depth and complexity. The 2015 Cuvée Spéciale Les Chétillons is very good, but not more than that. I can’t say I am surprised, as many of the 2015-base vintage wines here have always been a bit vegetal in character. On a brighter note, the Brut Rosé for Albanne, also base 2015, is very good, while the 2014 Cuvée Spéciale Montjolys is a fine effort in a vintage that has turned out to be far better than originally expected.
