Piper-Heidsieck 'Rare Cuvee' Champagne Cuvée 2006

Piper-Heidsieck's luxury cuvée with its beautifully decorated bottle is a well-matured blend of mainly Chardonnay with some Pinot Noir. Great drive and energy comes from the ripe fruit with its hints of almonds and toast. Drink this wine now. - Roger Voss

Grape Varietals: 70% Chardonnay 30% Pinot Noir

Region: Champagne, France

Tasting Notes: This Champagne is crystal-clear in colour, with bright yellow hues. On
the nose, there are aromas of apricot pastries, orange zest and mango, followed by more pronounced notes of vanilla, toast and Oriental spices. The complex bouquet of spices leads to a delicate, long finish. Opulent, rich and intense, Rare 2006 is a testament to this sunny vintage resulting in a Champagne with great concentration. Drink now through 2040.
