Gault&Millau's review 2024

A fine balance between fresh notes (candied grapefruit, bitter orange zest) and more evolved ones (acacia honey, vanilla cream). A floral touch follows, like dried rose petals and iris root. Delicate on the palate! The bubbles are present, but not aggressive. The slightly honeyed sweetness of lime blossom is counterbalanced by candied lemon and more citrusy notes of wild fennel. The smoothness is there, without smothering the substance. The finish is barely marked by a few counterpoint bitters.

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.
