Overview
Rare 2013 Champagne
Introducing the net vintage of Rare-Champagne, Millesime 2013.
Over the past 47 years, Rare Champagne has only released 15 prestige cuvées across 13 vintages. Rare Brut Millésime 2013 is only the 12th iteration of its kind. Rare was considered Piper Heidsieck's prestige cuvée until 2019. Rare Champagne was separated to form its own standalone house as we know it today.
Rare Millésime 2013 expresses the house's signature-blending minerality with a tropical twist-in two stages.
Despite its initially reserved appearance, this vintage unfurls delicious notes of pastries and spices in a saline tension that is both noble and full-bodied.
Tasting Notes:
The effervescence of Rare Millésime 2013 is tinged with an intensely bright, light golden colour.
The nose, at first subtle and clean, emerges in two stages combining tonicity and elegance. It all begins with the delicacy of white flowers, a hint of black tea and touches of citrus, kiwi and kumquat. Then, notes of lime blossom, green tea and fern give way to aromas of white fruits such as greengage plums.Touches of chestnut honey, sweet spices, vanilla and marzipan round off the wine's rich bouquet.
The two facets of Rare Millésime 2013 are confirmed in the mouth: smooth and vibrant, indulgent and dynamic. After hints of meringue, whipped cream and marzipan, kumquat, blood orange and kiwi then provide a refreshing tonicity. On the finish, the comforting texture of Rare Millésime 2013 appears as an aromatic and smoky indulgence punctuated by a freshness and a subtle bitterness. Rare Champagne's iconic signature of tropic minerality is expressed differently in Rare Millésime 2013, extended by a plump and prolonged aftertaste.
Weather: Extreme
After a cold winter and spring punctuated by chaotic downpours, summer brought a mixture of sun, drought and thunderstorms. In September a chilly autumn exacerbated by strong winds, forced the harvest to begin late, in October.
