94 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"L’Etonnant Monsieur Victor is above all a Péters’ family project and adventure. This surprising and extraordinary wine goes against the current trend of single-vintage, single-vineyard Champagnes and is elaborated in accordance with the time-tested Champagne savoir-faire of multi-vintage blends. We called upon the talent and passion our son, Victor, to personalize the labels with his artwork enforcing the truly unique character of each and every bottle."
"Our ambition being to offer the greatest multi-vintage Champagne that we could possibly elaborate, we undertook the task of rigorous selection of the best vats of our Perpetual Reserve starting from the year 1988 (wines conserved in stainless steel and concrete vats and big casks) as well as the best wines chosen from the latest harvest from the terroir of “Chétillon”. We then blended these wines together in almost equal quantities before bottling. The older vintages educate the younger wine which in turn enriches the whole with its specific character and youth.
For the optimum development of this Grand Cru 100% Chardonnay champagne, we allow L’Etonnant Monsieur Victor to age for 6 years on a natural cork in our cellars."
