2008 Piper-Heidsieck "Cuvée Rare" Brut Champagne ($189.99) "...this shows an initial explosion of power, in the form of mouthwatering flavors and fine texture, before quickly settling into an elegant gait." — Wine Spectator A spectacular bottling that reflects the generational excellence of the 2008 vintage, Piper-Heidsieck’s 2008 Cuvée Rare shows immediate upfront appeal, but the 2008's structure and verve take over and pull back on the reins, reminding us that it's built for endurance. Composed entirely of Grand Cru fruit from eight different villages, this is a beautifully layered, immensely complex offering from one of the region’s oldest and most historic producers.
97 points Wine Spectator: "Like a stallion out of the gate, this shows an initial explosion of power, in the form of mouthwatering flavors and fine texture, before quickly settling into an elegant gait. The racy acidity is seamlessly knit, buoying the lacy mousse and flavors of cassis, toasted brioche and tangerine, with accents of candied ginger, hazelnut and fleur de sel lingering on the long, creamy finish. (AN)" (12/2020) 96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2008 Champagne Rare is luxurious with aromas of graham cracker, honeysuckle, quince, and orange zest. It is round and opulent, with a fine and pillowy mousse, and retains freshness throughout, with apricot and yellow flowers. It is impressive and long, and fully luxurious. Drinking well now, it is sure to hold its own for years to come. (AF)" (11/2022) 95 points Decanter: "A lively first nose of candied lemon, guava, also a hint of lime. With aeration, notes of almonds and almond flowers come to the fore. On the palate, there is a nervy tension that energises its fine, crystalline texture. This is an upright and elegant Champagne whose long, airy finish is mouthwatering. After some time in the glass, it evolves towards notes of smoke, flint and vanilla. A sumptuous Champagne. Disgorged: November 2019. (YC)" (06/2021)
