Champagne Pierre Peters L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2013
Vendor code : 1286
Rodolphe Peters brilliantly runs the renowned Champagne house Pierre Peters, which spans 19 hectares in Mesnil-sur-Oger, where Chardonnay reveals itself in its purest and most chalk-infused form. Vinification takes place in stainless steel, ensuring the wines are never overly austere. Today, Peters slightly delays the release of his flagship wines, Les Chétillons and Montjolys, extending their aging by six months ‘sur lattes,’ followed by an additional year on cork. Buyers should note that Pierre Peters Champagne's excellence is evident even in the serious entry-level wines, making the purchase of the entire range highly justifiable.

Champagne Brut L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor (2013 base) is a blend of equal parts 2013 Chétillons and 2012 Réserve Oubliee, aged on cork. This blend creates a rich, textured Champagne with deep, complex aromas and flavors. Notes of mint, chamomile, dried flowers, orange, and spice lend the wine a vibrant character. The 2013 Monsieur Victor is a bit more dynamic than the Chetillons and Montjolys of the same year, which makes sense as it is a reserve blend. We recommend enjoying it at the dinner table, as it is very gastronomic, with great substance and depth. Dosage: 3.5-4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 2019. Recommended drinking window: 2021 to 2040.
L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor is, above all, a family project. This Champagne diverges from the current trend of single-vintage wines from single vineyards and is crafted according to the time-honored tradition of multi-vintage blends. Rodolphe Péters enlisted the talent and passion of his son to personalize the labels with his drawings, giving each bottle a truly unique character. Rodolphe Péters explains: ‘In an effort to create the finest multi-vintage Champagne possible, we carefully selected the best wines from our Perpetual Reserve, dating back to 1988 (wines stored in stainless steel vats, concrete, and large barrels), as well as the best wines from the most recent vintage from the Chétillon terroir. We then blended them in nearly equal proportions before bottling. The older wines enrich the younger ones, which in turn contribute their character and freshness.’ L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor is aged for 6 years on natural cork in the cellars. The code associated with each release of these cuvées indicates the artist admired and parodied by Rodolphe and Fabienne's son Victor (e.g., TM - Tim Burton) and the base year of the blend (09 - 2009, 10 - 2010, etc.).
