750ml
The flagship Champagne of the estate, a wine that Rodolphe believes embodies the bond with his father, symbolizing the convergence of their distinct personalities. This Brut expression is composed exclusively of Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Les Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant with over half of the Chétillons harvest going into the wine each year.
45% current vintage (2020 base wine) and 55% perpetual reserve dating back to 1988, raised in a combination of stainless steel, oak and concrete with extended time on lees.
The “Extra Aging” cuvée spends 4 years sur lattes (versus 2 years for the regular cuvée) and is a special release, exclusive to private clients.
Les Chétillons, located just southeast of the village of Le Mesnil is the source of the domaine’s most iconic cuvée. The family acquired 3 plots here in 1930 and has been making this single-vineyard champagne since 1971. Each year each parcel is vinified separately and blended to produce this single vineyard wine, which Rodolphe considers more complete then its individual parts. Cuvée Speciale ages at least 6 years on the lees before disgorgement, delighting with Mesnil tension and energy.

Les Chétillons, located just southeast of the village of Le Mesnil is the source of the domaine’s most iconic cuvée. The family acquired 3 plots here in 1930 and has been making this single-vineyard champagne since 1971. While it’s exclusively made from Les Chétillons fruit, its depth relies on the interplay between three different parcels within the vineyard, with vines ranging in age. Each year each parcel is vinified separately and blended to produce this single vineyard wine, which Rodolphe considers more complete than its individual parts. Chétillons really hits stride after 10 years and peaks around the 20 year mark.
Réserve Familiale is aged under capsule for 10 years before disgorgement and only made available to select private clients.
Among the more recent entries to the Pierre Péters house, the very small-production Les Montjolys comes exclusively from Grand Cru chardonnay in Péters' hometown of Le Mesnil sur Oger. The terroir enjoys higher percentage of clay and deeper soils than many other sites of the village, and over seven individual parcels are vinified to together produce the wine. Aged on the lees for 6+ years prior to release, it's richer and fuller than the house's flagship Chétillons bottling, while still showcasing Pierre Péters' hallmark precision and mineral intensity.

Made in the heart of the Côte des Blanc from the revered Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger vineyard, L’Etonnant Monsieur Victor is one of the domaine’s finest cuvées born as an adventurous, whimsical family project that features artistic labels by Rodolphe Péters son, Victor, who draws inspiration from artists that he admires.
Each edition blends the base vintage’s best vats of Grand Cru Chardonnay with 50% of reserve wine from Rodolphe’s ‘perpetual reserve’ of Les Chétillons. The wine then ages 5 years on fine lees, and is disgorged one year prior to release.
The code (“TB17” ) associated with each edition of these cuvees is in reference to the artist that Victor parodies on the label and the base vintage of the blend. The 2018 edition is the third in a Series featuring Tim Burton that is quickly becoming iconic.

The majority of the grapes come from Clos de la Baronne, east of Les Gouttes d’Or. In addition are blends of vines from the heavier clay soils of the southern plots of Les Vireuils, Les Gruyaches, Les Crotots and les Sous la Velle. A generous, sappy and persistent Meursault that can be enjoyed straight away.
Les Bouchères is a relatively small cru, totaling around 4.41 ha under vines, and Jean-Marc’s Clos des Bouchères is walled off slice of this cru, about 1.38 hectares in total, planted in 1950 and 1980. Jean-Marc acquired this Clos in 2011. Its shallow, stony soils lie over oolitic limestone laced with marl and clamshells, adding distinct salinity to the wine. Bouchères is all length on the palate; intense, elegant and refined.

50+ year old vines from 0.85 hectare.Situated just north of the 1er Crus, a quintessential Meursault from the heart of the appellation. More powerful than Tillets, with a nose of dried citrus, bark and spices.
A selection of 6 750ml showcasing the breadth of the Domaines Meursault 1er Cru's. This OWC features one bottle each of: Goutte d’Or, Bouchères, Porusots, Genevrières, Charmes, and Perrières
2012 was the first vintage that the Clos de la Baronne had been bottled as a single parcel. The bottling is sourced from the 2.7ha Clos de la Baronne, a monopole of on average 40-year-old vines.
The 1er Cru Porusots is an east-facing vineyard with deep clay soils. The site produces lavish, layered and deeply structured wines.
0.91 hectares in 2 parcels: (1) Les Perrières Dessous - 0.77 ha towards the bottom of Perrières.Planted in 1955 (87%) and 1983 (13%) (2) Les Perrières Dessous “Perrières Ginette” - 0.14 ha towards the bottom of Perrières. Acquired in 2004. The soil is quite fine and is white from the abundance of limestone and marl on a sub-soil of flaked limestone. This is always a powerful wine, marked with Perrière's signature potent minerality
0.39 hectares replanted in 1991 Clay-rich soil on pebbly limestone sub-soil Vigorous terroir that must be well-managed Produces very powerful wines with ripe aromas and explosive minerality
2.12 hectares owned entirely by the domaine, encircled by a wall Shallow clay soil above hard limestone Planting dates - 1950 (0.80 ha), 1975 (0.80 ha), 1999 & 2004 (0.50 ha) The terroir produces rich, mineral wines, with pronounced citrus aromas and marked acidity.
0.55 hectares in Genevrières du Dessus (the top - and best part - of the vineyard). The parcel is located right next to Lafon's parcel of Perrières. The soil is shallow and very light, producing a wine of incredible finesse
1.71 hectares in Charmes du Dessus (the top - and best part - of the vineyard. Relatively deep clay-limestone soil, the rocks are quite crumbly, even at great depth. Produces powerful but not heavy wines
Bouchères features some of the domaine's lightest soils and is comparatively high on the slope. The result tends to be fresh, elegant and even a little ethereal by Meursault standards, with considerable zip, salinity and freshness. The 15% new wood is just a whisper in the background here, complementing the focused, citrus-edged fruit.
0.32 hectares at the extreme southern end of the vineyard, just south of Romanée-Conti's plots 80% planted in 1953, 20% in 1972 Purchased by Comte Jules Lafon in 1918, this small piece of Montrachet is the crown jewel of the estate, producing tiny amounts of a wine of astounding richness, balance, and depth.
“Summer began pleasantly, with warm temperatures and occasional showers. The first half of August was notably mild and wet, and proved crucial for retaining some acidity in the grapes as they matured. This was followed by a period of high temperatures, culminating with an unprecedented heatwave in early September. These temperatures persisted until mid-September, causing rapid ripening and swift increases in potential alcohol levels. Fortunately, the healthy crop size helped to moderate the process, allowing us to avoid any signs of over-maturity.
Our harvest started in earnest on September 6th. The quality of the fruit was excellent. " Jeremy Seysses

Nothing demonstrates red Burgundy’s magic like great Volnay, with its enveloping aromatic complexity, silky texture and tremendous aging potential. And for over a century, the name “D’Angerville” has been synonymous with the greatest Volnays.
“They bring a welcome reminiscence of the wines of 40 years ago; subtle, crystal clear, lower in alcohol, vibrant, with a very precise definition, and exceptional drinkability. We wish we had more.”

60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc (Bouchet) Produced since 1987, this cru reveals a different geological expression of the vineyard of Lafleur, translated through the great clay terroir of Pomerol instead of Lafleur’s mighty gravel. This small 0.7 hectare parcel is is at the center of the Lafleur property with deeper soils ranging from sandy silt to clay and brown sand and less gravel - richer and deeper, and more typical to the soils of Pomerol. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrique (50% new)

59% Cabernet Franc (Bouchet), 41% Merlot - this cuvée was born in 2018 vintage after years of experimentation by Baptiste and Julie Guinaudeau to best showcase the unique Bouchet de Lafleur planted on the fossil-spotted limestone soils of Fronsac. The vineyards are perched 83 meters above the Dordogne river (nearly twice the elevation of Lafleur). Fermentation in stainless steel/concrete tanks with soft maceration and moderate tannin extraction. 15 months barrel aging(1/3 new oak and 2/3 one-year-old barrels)
Lafleur is a small vineyard even by Pomerol’s standards; at just under 4 hectares, it covers less than half the area of neighboring Petrus. But despite its diminutive size, Lafleur is actually a complex mosaic of four complementary soil types: gravelly toward the eastern flank, gravel over clay toward the north and west, and sandy/gravelly toward the south, plus a sandy crescent of silt-like soil that is the base for Pensées de Lafleur. Lafleur’s unique selling point is the contribution of Cabernet Franc, which grows at higher altitude here than in any other Pomerol cru and represents around half the vineyard plantings.
