Gault&Millau's review 2022

Evoking the remarkable ageing capabilities in magnum format that we discussed in last year’s guide, this cuvée is a perfect example: the opulent style is superb to enjoy today, and still it has the indulgence to say be patient and wait, even for years. Time gives it complexity, mature aromas and flavours with notes of roasted dried fruits, gingerbread and honey, while preserving an exemplary freshness and length on the finish, opening up a world of worthy and noble culinary pairings.

Rare Champagne

The origins of Rare Champagne go back to a tribute to Queen Marie-Antoinette. This is undoubtedly the source of its revolutionary spirit, which fights against the trivialization of vintages. Over the last forty years, the house has only declared fourteen vintages. Régis Camus has entrusted Émilien Boutillat, the new cellar master, with the perpetuation of the savoir-faire and the signature of the wine. The latter, who has won the most awards in the world in his speciality, has put his stamp on the house, selecting singular, atypical years, where nature has been tamed, where time and expertise reveal exceptional champagnes. The tiara on the bottle, designed by Arthus Bertrand, depicts the triumphant vine dominating the vagaries of time. Rare Champagne offers wines of patience, with unlimited potential for expression. Time is no longer an obstacle, but a benefit that enhances the personality of each vintage.
