The nose, at first subtle and clean, emerges in two stages combining tonicity and elegance. It all begins with the delicacy of white flowers, a hint of black tea and touches of citrus, kiwi and kumquat. Then, notes of lime blossom, green tea and fern give way to aromas of white fruits such as greengage plums. Touches of chestnut honey, sweet spices, vanilla and marzipan round off the wine's rich bouquet. The two facets of Rare Millésime 2013 are confirmed in the mouth: smooth and vibrant, indulgent and dynamic. After hints of meringue, whipped cream and marzipan, kumquat, blood orange and kiwi then provide a refreshing tonicity. On the finish, the comforting texture of Rare Millésime 2013 appears as an aromatic and smoky indulgence punctuated by a freshness and a subtle bitterness. Rare Champagne's iconic signature of tropic minerality is expressed differently in Rare Millésime 2013, extended by a plump and prolonged aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eReviews and Accolades\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e96 Points\/James Suckling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch a pleasingly elegant and multifaceted Champagne with salty, creamy and toasty elements all wound together. Plenty of apricot pastries, pears, brown butter, fennel and salted almonds, with some iodine. It’s silky on the palate, with soft and supple bubbles, while remaining fresh and on edge. 70% chardonnay and 30% pinot noir, from 11 cru villages mostly in Montagne de Reims with Cotes de Blancs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e96 Points\/Decanter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nose opens with an initial whiff of creaminess, followed by hints of creamy polenta and tart yet aromatic citrus and chalk. The palate is immediately striking with saltiness and savouriness. The foam is rich and tiny bubbles burst, releasing the citric charm of lemon and white grapefruit. There is something driven, vertical and precise on the taut body, softened by that creamy generosity and subtle oyster shell appeal of the mousse. The finish holds a delicious frisson of white pepper and grapefruit zest spice. A very straight-laced wine for now that will unfold in its long future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e95 Points\/Wine Spectator\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's a sense of finesse to this elegant Champagne, with the plushly creamy mousse carrying a finely-meshed yet concentrated range of blackberry puree and poached apricot with blood orange peel, salted pistachio and aromatic accents of verbena, chalk and oyster shell. Mouthwatering acidity carries the complex profile on the long, long finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2038.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e** In order to protect the product, this item will be shipped out without the gift box.
