| Color | The appearance is a light, bright yellow colour with green reflections. |
| Perfume | The nose opens with floral notes (lime, acacia) followed by citrus notes (lemon preserve) and toasted hazelnut, ending on notes of minerality that bring complexity and elegance. |
| Taste | The mouthfeel is powerful and fresh at the same time. The first impression is of great finesse where lemon and white fruits (peaches) dominate, then follow nuances of tangerine and toasted bread. The persistence is very long, with memories of candied citrus fruits and mineral notes with hints of chalk, giving freshness, purity and power. |

The history of this maison began in 1858 when Gaspar Péters, originally from Luxembourg, married a young woman from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger who owned several hectares of vineyards.
It was not until 1919 that Camille, Gaspar Péters' grandson, decided to produce and market bottles on his own. Today, the Maison Pierre Péters, which has borne the name of Camille's eldest son since 1944, owns 19 hectares of vineyards in the Côte des Blancs region and more precisely in the villages of Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant. Pierre Péters champagnes are all classified as Grand Cru, made from Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) with the exception of the Champagne Rosé 'Rosé for Albane'.
The vineyards of the Pierre Péters estate have an average age of 30-45 years and are located in a terroir characterised by an important chalk component. Pierre Péters Champagnes are characterised by the balance and aromas of the Chardonnay, giving the final taste the finesse of the terroir. Read more
