Rare Champagne: from Marie-Antoinette to Fabergé

A Toast to Time: Unveiling the Rare Gem of Piper-Heidsieck

Have you ever craved a taste of history? A sip of something truly extraordinary? Then look no further than Rare Champagne, a legacy of elegance passed down through centuries.

This exquisite nectar boasts a lineage fit for royalty. It all began in 1785, when Piper-Heidsieck presented a prestigious cuvée to none other than Marie-Antoinette, the Queen of France. Fast forward a hundred years, and to celebrate this momentous occasion, the House produced a limited-edition masterpiece: La Cuvée du Centenaire.

Imagine, if you will, a bottle designed by the legendary Fabergé, jeweller to the Czars.

This vision, unfortunately, couldn't be fully realized with the techniques of the time. But fear not, for the spirit of artistry lives on in the exquisite label adorning each bottle of Rare Champagne.

But Rare is more than just a pretty face (or bottle). The 2013 vintage is a testament to the power of nature and the skill of the Piper-Heidsieck cellar masters. A summer of dramatic weather swings – sun, drought, and sudden chills – ultimately produced a harvest of exceptional quality.

A Feast for the Senses

Pop the cork and prepare to be dazzled. The effervescence dances in your glass, a vibrant light gold that hints at the treasures within. The first breath unveils a symphony of delicate white flowers, citrus, and a touch of black tea. As the aromas unfurl, notes of lime blossom, green tea, and fern emerge, intertwined with the sweetness of white fruits. A touch of honey, spice, and marzipan completes this captivating bouquet.

The palate is a delightful revelation. Smooth and vibrant, it bursts with flavours of meringue, whipped cream, and marzipan. Tangy notes of kumquat, blood orange, and kiwi provide a refreshing counterpoint.

The finish lingers with a touch of smokiness and a subtle bitterness, leaving you with a lasting impression of pure indulgence.
