Rare Champagne Millésime 2008 — a taut, celebrated vintage of orchard fruit, citrus and honeycomb.
From Rare Champagne — the prestige cuvée that began life at Piper-Heidsieck and is now a house in its own right. This 2008 vintage, one of the decade's most acclaimed, blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and rests on its lees for at least nine years. Precise and layered, it balances freshness with depth.
Medium to full-bodied with a persistent mousse and crisp, refreshing acidity. Ripe orchard fruit meets toasted brioche, almond and vanilla, leading to a lingering, creamy finish.
