    Overview

    Piper-Heidsieck Rare 1988 in Presentation Case 

     
    Introduction to Rare:
    A heat wave like one never seen before struck France in the summer of 1976. Could it be possible to produce a cuvée worthy of the Maison under such conditions? After all, such an extraordinary event could produce an extraordinary cuvée.
     
    Thanks to their expertise and creativity, several men skilled in the art of winemaking transcended the disaster and tamed the unbridled natural forces that year to produce a cuvée of exquisite purity. It is known as Rare, in tribute to the events behind its creation. Since then, the Rare years where Nature unleashes its forces, a new cuvée is born.

    Rare Millesime 1988:
    A bright, deep gold hue coupled with an attractive and discreet effervescence.
     
    On the nose, an initial ephemeral aroma of plants, dried fern and humus, followed by a sensuous truffle fragrance and the floral overtones of freesia, lily and peony. Its warm heart is characterised by ripe grain and refreshing notes of eucalyptus, mint and verbena. Its delicate aroma of fruit, white peach and dried apricots is rounded off by the warmest notes of roasted coffee, aged rum and vanilla.
     
    In the mouth, an initial attack bursting with flavour. This is a powerful yet elegant and highly stylish wine. The velvety texture of cocoa beans and mocha gives way to more powerful notes of dried fruit, hazelnuts and dried currents. The aroma of plants and herbs, peppered with hints of eucalyptus and sandalwood, combines with the delicious taste of roasted pineapple. A sophisticated complex and warm wine.
