Pierre Peters, Cuvée de Réserve, Brut-Blanc de Blanc, Champagne N.V.

What makes a wine truly special to me is always the people behind it. After meeting Rodolphe Peters at a tasting in Reims last week, this bottle means everything. I had the privilege of attending Les Artisans du Champagne, a beautiful event celebrating the excellence and craftsmanship of independent Champagne producers, and it was one of the most inspiring tastings I have ever experienced. Among so many exceptional winemakers, Rodolphe stood out because he is so warm and hospitable. He the sixth generation at the helm of this iconic house, he is as gracious and genuine and his wines are elegent, pure, beautiful and strong. It's the kind of champagne that makes every moment feel worth celebrating. A glass of this Blanc de Blancs alongside oysters is perfect for Mother's Day. - Erica Joy Dunn
