Piper Heidsieck Rare

Piper-Heidsieck is one of the most famous houses in Champagne. Founded in Reims in 1785, initially under the Heidsieck & Cie denomination, the House took the name Piper-Heidsieck in 1853. Pinot Noir is the signature of this great Champagne House. Refined, elegant and precise, this grape variety brings structure, power and balance to its world-renowned wines. Piper-Heidsieck is the most awarded House of the century.

Piper-Heidsieck Rare is a unique prestige cuvee. In the summer of 1976, an unprecedented heatwave hit France, inspiring the winemaking team to create a cuvee from these extraordinary conditions. Crafting the blend was challenging, but its exceptional quality earned it the name Rare. This cuvee is only produced in the exceptional years. 

Rare 2013 unfolds with a delicate bouquet of white flowers, citrus, kiwi and kumquat, evolving into notes of green tea, white fruits and hints of honey, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, it is both vibrant and indulgent, with marzipan, meringue, kumquat and blood orange, finishing with a subtle smoky minerality and a prolonged, refreshing aftertaste.
