Champagne Rare Brut Millesime 2006

Founded in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck is one of Champagne’s most historic and distinguished houses, celebrated for its precision, energy, and longevity. The prestige cuvée “Rare” is produced only in exceptional vintages and crafted under the direction of long-time cellar master Régis Camus. It embodies the house’s dedication to balance and elegance — a crystalline reflection of Champagne’s finest terroirs.

Grape Varietals: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir
