Pierre Péters is a Champagne house at Le Mesnil-sur-Oger particularly known for its range of Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay. In the last decade or so the estate has risen quickly into the top flight garnering attention from international critics. The Péters family has grown grapes on the Côte des Blancs for six generations beginning in 1858 when Gaston Péters of Luxembourg married into a family of local growers. The wines were labeled Camille Péters from 1919 to 1944 when it was renamed for the new proprietor Pierre Péters. To this day the house remains family-owned and run."
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"Why has the non-vintage concept largely been reserved to entry-level wines?" pondered Péters and he decided to produce a new cuvée to change that. Based on the 2012 Les Chétillons and supplemented by wine from the family's long-established perpetual reserve the NV L?Étonnant Monsieur Victor Edition MK 12 is the latest rendition and it's showing very well opening in the glass with aromas of lemon oil warm bread white flowers crushed chalk oyster shells and wheat toast. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied rich and layered with superb concentration racy acids and a precise intensely saline finish.
Vinous: 95 Points
The NV L’Etonnant Monsieur Victor (2012 base) is another stunning wine in this lineup from Rodolphe Péters. For this cuvée Péters blends his best tank of 2012 Chétillons with the 2011 Réserve Oubliée and ages the wine on cork. Dense powerful and bursting at the seams with energy the 2012 Etonnant Monsieur Victor makes a strong opening statement. Apricot wild flowers chamomile hazelnut and orange peel build on a beautifully resonant expressive Champagne that hits all the right notes. The 2012 is virile and imposing not to mention loaded with character. Disgorged: December 2018.
