CHAMPAGNE PIERRE PÉTERS CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE

The estate was founded in 1858 by Gaspard Péters, who initially operated as a grower, selling his entire harvest to large négociant houses. In 1919 Gaspard’s grandson Camille made the pivotal move in 1919 to stop selling grapes to larger houses and begin estate bottling. n 1944, Camille’s son Pierre Péters took the helm, formally establishing the brand name and significantly expanding the family’s vineyard holdings across the Côte des Blancs. Since 2008, sixth-generation winemaker and oenologist Rodolphe Péters has led the house, modernizing the winery while refining the signature perpetual reserve system initiated by his father, François. Today, Rodolphe is credited with elevating the estate to its status as a world-class grower-producer, managing 20 hectares of Grand Cru vines with a focus on precision and terroir-driven purity.
