N.V. Pierre Peters Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Cuvée de Réserve
November 9, 2009 by David Honig
Filed under Tasting Notes
The color is clear light golden straw, and bubbles are tiny. The nose is rich and yeasty, fresh-baked bread and buttered toast, with light delicate citrus (key limes and a hint of pink grapefruit) and lychee. The mousse is full but delicate. The fruit on the palate is key lime and a touch of sweet grapefruit. Florals were equally citrusy, orange blossoms from a distance. The finish lasted quite a while, the different tastes all coming together and lingering, all very light but lasting.
