Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cuvée de Réserve's unique winemaking method?

Pierre Péters uses a perpetual reserve system (similar to a Solera), blending the current vintage Chardonnay with reserve wines from up to 10 past vintages. This creates remarkable consistency and complexity that pure current-vintage NV wines cannot achieve.

Is this a Non-Vintage champagne?

Yes — the Cuvée de Réserve is NV, but it is anything but simple. The multi-vintage blending with a perpetual reserve gives it the house-style consistency of NV with the depth and complexity of a vintage wine.

What food pairs with Blanc de Blancs champagne?

Blanc de Blancs is the ultimate food champagne. Its pure Chardonnay character pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, delicate seafood, and Japanese cuisine — particularly umami-rich dishes like sea urchin and chawanmushi.

Why is Le Mesnil-sur-Oger considered Champagne's greatest Chardonnay village?

Le Mesnil sits on extremely deep chalk soils that retain remarkable amounts of water, giving Chardonnay perfect even ripening in hot years and excellent acidity in cool years. This consistency, combined with mineral intensity unique to the site, produces Blanc de Blancs with legendary aging potential.
