Therefore, not all wine critics have rated it yet. But as you can see from The wine advocate this champagne is amazing and has even greater potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the aroma, you get an extremely elegant fruity sensation and after a short time in the glass, the champagne opens up with deep notes of pineapple, citrus, sweet vanilla and roasted coffee beans, which meet with licorice and roasted almonds. The taste offers fruity, fresh and crisp notes, which in harmony with the fresh acidity, turn into a full fruity taste with great depth and complexity.\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. Thus, Rare Champagne has only been released in 9 vintages since 1976 and is thus one of the vintage Champagnes that is released the rarest.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRare Champagne Vintage 2008 offers a generous aroma of honey and tropical fruit. Crisp and minerally clean in taste, where apricot, citrus, sweet oriental spices and a little pepper complement each other in perfect balance and harmony. A historic and incredibly elegant wine that, then as now, is worthy of a queen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComments from a tasting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2008 Brut Cuvée Rare is very promising, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reserved nose of citrus oil, crisp green apple, freshly baked bread, iodine and oyster shell, as well as some rather herbaceous characteristics that depress my score a little, even if I suspect that they will resolve with a bit more bottle age. Medium to full-bodied, incisive and tightly wound, if the 2006 vintage was gourmand and demonstrative, the 2008 is slower to show all its cards. Built around racy acids and complemented by a pillowy mousse, this rendition of Cuvée Rare will reward a few years more on cork.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e93+\/100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWilliam Kelley, \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate,\u003c\/span\u003e Sep. 2020.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e0,75 L \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/strong\u003eChardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDosage: \u003c\/strong\u003eBrut\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epineapple, citrus, sweet vanilla and roasted coffee beans\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABV: \u003c\/strong\u003e12.5% Vol.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade in: \u003c\/strong\u003eFrance, Champagne\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduced by: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePiper-Heidsieck\u003c\/span\u003e, France\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluding: \u003c\/strong\u003echampagne \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eBrand new, (may have minor imperfections from shipping)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther information: \u003c\/strong\u003econtains sulfites\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43646814716146,"sku":"","price":197.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/2752\/0498\/products\/rare08.png?v=1667210137","url":"https:\/\/champagne-season.com\/en-fr\/products\/rare-champagne-vintage-2008","provider":"Champagne Season","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
