The wine
Piper-Heidsieck's "Rare Brut Millesime" is a prestigious and highly-regarded Champagne produced by the house. It is known for its complexity, richness, and elegance. The "Rare" Champagne is typically released as a vintage wine, which means it is made from grapes harvested in a single exceptional year.
Rare Brut Millesime is celebrated for its depth and complexity. It's a Champagne that often benefits from aging, allowing the flavors and aromas to evolve and develop further. The balance of fruit, acidity, and aging characteristics make it a sought-after choice for special occasions and celebrations.
