Rodolphe Péters took over the reins of this venerable estate in the southern Côte des Blancs in 2008, becoming the fourth generation to lead since the estate was founded in 1919, under the name Camille Péters. Today, Rodolphe holds 18 hectares of vineyards, predominantly in the grand cru of Les Mesnil-sur-Oger. Péters owns small holdings in several other grand crus (Oger, Avize and Cramant) but Les Mesnil-sur-Oger is where 45 of the 63 parcels he farms are located.
- Winemaker / Chef du Cave: Rodolphe Péters
-
Grapes / Assemblage: 100% Chardonnay.
2018 Base with reserve wine from 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1995 through 2017
-
Terroirs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru, Cramant Grand Cru, Avize Grand Cru and Oger Grand Cru; Chalk
-
Vinification: Partial malo (75%), élevage stainless steel, oak cask and concrete on fine lees
- Aging: 24+ Months sur latte
- Tasting Notes: These are sleek, racy champagnes, expressing a classic character of Côte des Blancs chardonnay. They are marked by their fine acidity and prominent minerality, yet while they are always brisk and chalky. “We have a lot of acidity and a lot of minerality in all our wines,” says Rodolphe Péters. “We want to build the structure of our wines around both acidity and minerality, not acidity alone."
