It is complex and both exotic and fresh, ripe and warm because of its age, but it still has delicate and dynamic bubbles.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 2006 the winter was cold with large amounts of snow, followed by thunderstorms in the spring and a very hot summer in August. Then the temperature dropped and large amounts of rain threatened the ripeness of the grapes. Fortunately, the heat returned in September, and the harvest was saved.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a testament to a sunny year, the champagne shines with a changing color of yellow-green and gold. It first offers a generous honeyed and exotic aroma with crisp mango, cocoa, coffee, and tropical fruits, which give the vintage a sophisticated vitality. Aromas of jasmine pave the way for a gradually growing minerality. Aromas of dried apricot and pink peony announce a light vegetative structure, where vanilla, yellow kiwi, and exotic spices flourish.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the unusually long finish, mocha and cocoa confirm the fine minerality. Dried apricots, sweet spices, citrus fruits, crispy honey pastry, and Espelette pepper (Piment d'Espelette) cover the mouth with an exotic and smoky heat.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnjoy it with, for example, oysters, lobster, aperitif or meals with white meat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout Rare Champagne:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1885, Piper-Heidsieck Champagne marked the 100th year of the first Cuvée, which was served to Queen Marie-Antoinette in 1785, by producing a prestige cuvée, Rare Champagne.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, Rare Champagne is one of the most prestigious luxury brands, and it is only produced when the year's harvest in Champagne is extraordinarily successful.
