Vinepair 10 Best Champagnes for Every Occasion (2021)

Inspired by the Solera method, Pierre Peters Champagne House began its journey of incorporating more than 20 vintages into their reserve wine in 1988. This Blanc de Blancs contains 40 percent reserve wine and is exclusively composed of Chardonnay from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs. This grower Champagne is rich with a balanced mix of toasted brioche and vanilla notes. It rounds a corner, introducing perfectly ripe green apple and finished with a spritz of Meyer lemon oil. The quality of the fruit used is clearly high in this lavish and full of flavor Cuvée. - Vinepair

Made up, half and half, of base wine from the sunny 2018 harvest, and reserve wine from Rodolphe’s Perpetual Reserve which goes back to 1988, this is one of the most consistently excellent NV wines on the market. Its current iteration is especially impressive, floral, chalky, upstanding, and very complex; the palate sharing notes of dried apricot, plum and lemon pith with more developed intimations of sour honey and patisserie. An exemplary wine with real purity and precision on the finish. Drinking Window 2021 - 2024 -, Simon Field MW, Decanter

This elegant Champagne is powered by intense acidity, wrapping its racy frame in a cloak fashioned from the plush and creamy mousse as it carries flavors of ripe mirabelle plum and fig fruit, chopped hazelnut and preserved lemon, with an underlying tang of salinity. The lingering finish echoes the ripe fruit and mineral character. Disgorged October 2020. Drink now through 2026. - Wine Spectator

The NV Brut Cuvée de Réserve Grand Cru is fabulous. A Champagne of tension and energy, the Cuvée de Réserve has real presence, not to mention tons of class. Citrus, jasmine, mint and crushed rocks are some of the many nuances that race out of the glass. In this release, the Cuvée de Réserve has a light tropical quality that is both exotic and hugely appealing. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2021. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Based on the 2017 vintage and disgorged in May 2021, the latest release of Péters's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée de Réserve continues to show very nicely. Bursting with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, honeycomb, white flowers and fresh bread, it's medium-bodied, pillowy and generous, with a refined mousse and an elegantly fleshy core of fruit. This is a fine-boned, weightless blanc de blancs that's disarmingly easy to drink. - WK, Wine Advocate
