Rare Rose Millesime 2012

Rare Rose Millesime 2012
Champagne, France

The Piper-Heidsieck ‘Rare’ Vintage Brut is only made in the very best of years – and have to be considered perfect for what Regis Camus calls “an extraordinary cuvee”. The wine is matured for over seven years in their cellars before being dressed and ready for release.

60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. Aromas of cherry, lychee and ginger intensify on the nose. Simultaneously, the structure of Rare Rosé Millésime 2012 strikes a balance between hot and cold: warm spices such as paprika, Espelette chili, turmeric and pepper give way to a cooling, mineral freshness. The finish, which combines attractive tannins and iodine notes, is the sign of a sophisticated wine with a vibrant salinity.
