Piper Heidsieck Rare 2002 Vintage Champagne 75cl

Perfectly classic, Rare Millésime 2002 combines spicy aromas with freshness, oriental scents with minerality, purity with precision.

ON THE EYE : SHIMMERING

Dazzling, crystal-clear, citrine yellow gold enlivened by a delicate, shimmering effervescence.

ON THE NOSE : EXOTIC

The fruit emerges as delicate, golden, muted exotic fruits - mango and kiwifruit - and dried fruit - hazelnut, almond and fig. A touch of iodine enhances this wine's flawless nose. The mild spices reflect the wine's depth - white pepper, smoked tea and cocoa.

ON THE PALATE : SILKY

A wine with depth but also honed, precise, in harmony. Voluptuous delicacy with meringue notes. Subtle nuances evoke distant lands - mint tea, lime, kumquat and exotic fruits such as pineapple and candied ginger.

WEATHER : IDYLLIC

Benevolent sunny weather gave a generous harvest with magnificent grapes. An exceptional summer resulted in a deep, sumptuous vintage.
