Description

Rare Millésime vintage 2008, is produced from the varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, in the best harvest years. Exquisitely elegant, fruity, and mineral, it reveals plenty of fruit and vitality on the nose, highlighting notes of pineapple, lemon, sweet vanilla, and roasted coffee beans, combined with hints of liquorice and toasted almonds. On the palate, it is well-drawn and driven by crisp acidity, perfectly linked to the fruit profile.

Rare Champagne pays tribute to the glory days of the royal court at Versailles when founder Florens-Louis Heidsieck presented his first "cuvée de prestige" to Marie Antoinette in 1785, declaring that he wanted to make a "cuvée worthy of a queen."
