Champagne AOC Brut Rare Millésime 2013 Piper-Heidsieck

The Rare Champagne Millésime is born from the expertise of Maison Piper-Heidsieck, with the aim of creating a cuvée of exceptional purity, produced only in remarkable vintages. The wine results from a meticulous selection of grapes from some of the best crus of Champagne, particularly Avize, Vertus, Villers-Marmery, Verzy, and Aÿ. It is distinguished by a refined and intense style, designed to celebrate significant moments with elegance and complexity.

The cuvée is composed predominantly of Chardonnay, balanced by a portion of Pinot Noir, with grapes handpicked in selected crus. After vinification, the wine ages on the lees for over ten years, a process that contributes to its extraordinary structure and depth. The Maison's approach, combining technical precision and creative sensitivity, ensures a rare and unique expression in each edition of this exclusive label.

In appearance, it presents a bright light gold color. On the nose, it reveals a delicate complexity, with aromas of white flowers, exotic fruits, citrus, and sweet spices. The bouquet evolves with hints of chestnut honey, vanilla, plum, marzipan, and a slight smoky note. On the palate, it is velvety and structured, with a refined balance between mineral freshness and aromatic richness, expressed in a persistent and multifaceted finish.

It is ideal paired with complex and intense dishes such as spicy sauced shellfish or creamy risottos made with aged cheeses.
