Overview
Piper-Heidsieck Rare 2002
Introduction to Rare:
A heat wave like one never seen before struck France in the summer of 1976. Could it be possible to produce a cuvée worthy of the Maison under such conditions? After all, such an extraordinary event could produce an extraordinary cuvée.
Thanks to their expertise and creativity, several men skilled in the art of winemaking transcended the disaster and tamed the unbridled natural forces that year to produce a cuvée of exquisite purity. It is known as Rare, in tribute to the events behind its creation. Since then, the Rare years where Nature unleashes its forces, a new cuvée is born.
Rare Millesime 2002:
A prestigious, classical prestige cuvee from 2002 vintage - structured, full-bodied and bursting with fruit.
Elaborated with a majority of Chardonnays from the Montagne de Reims region (70%) and complemented with Pinots Noirs (30%) from the same region, this wine is a blend of 8 crus which matured for over 7 years in the House's cellars.
A 2002 vintage synonymous with richness and generosity.
Tasting Notes:
A dazzling, crystal-clear, citrine yellow gold enlivened by a delicate, shimmering effervescence.
On the nose, the fruit emerges as delicate, golden, muted exotic fruits - mango and kiwifruit - and dried fruit - hazelnut, almond and fig. A touch of iodine enhances this wine's flawless nose. The mild spices reflect the wine's depth - white pepper, smoked tea and cocoa.
In the mouth, a wine with depth but also honed, precise, in harmony. Voluptuous delicacy with meringue notes. Subtle nuances evoke distant lands - mint tea, lime, kumquat and exotic fruits such as pineapple and candied ginger.
