The NV Réserve Oubliée (2013 base) is the finest edition of this wine yet. Airy, weightless and gracious, but with plenty of depth, the Réserve Oubliée is absolutely fabulous. A range of floral, savory and citrus nuances emerge from a Champagne endowed with tremendous class and personality. As a reminder, the Réserve Oubliée is the same base wine as the Cuvée de Réserve, but aged an extra year on the lees and bottled under cork rather than crown seal.
The latest iteration of Pierre Péters' NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Réserve Oubliée is showing brilliantly, offering up a lovely bouquet of lemon oil, crushed white flowers, green apple, honeycomb and walnut oil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, pure and racy, with excellent concentration, a pinpoint mousse and incisive acids, concluding with a penetrating finish. Impeccably balanced and complete, this is a brilliant blanc de blancs from Péters, with appreciable additional complexity thanks to its reserve wines.
