Gault&Millau's review 2018

This predominantly Chardonnay cuvée, which is only produced in great years such as 2002, the region's benchmark vintage, is full of finesse. Still youthful in color despite its 15 years, this Rare has a very fine bubble and is classically presented: behind notes of dried fruit and toast emerge aromas of ripe fruit, yellow at first, then finely exotic with hints of pineapple. On the palate, the wine has superb finesse, with a fresh, saline finish. To be enjoyed on its own merits.

Rare Champagne
Rare Champagne
Fifty years ago, Rare Champagne was launched in Reims and was long considered the jewel in Piper-Heidsieck’s crown before becoming a brand in its own right. One of its distinctive features? Rare and limited-edition releases, depending on weather conditions and the quality of the grapes. As a result, in 50 years, only about fifteen vintages have been released—always in limited quantities and in bottles designed by renowned artists. While the bottle catches the eye, the contents reflect the masterful blending—primarily featuring Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims, complemented by Pinot Noir.
