Truly an extraordinary occurrence, only 12 vintages of Rare Champagne have been created and released in the last 4 decades, including this 1988 vintage, a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. The nose offers a myriad of exotic aromas, such as dried fern, truffles, figs and dates. The palate is bold, with hints of cinnamon, brioche, hazelnuts and dried red berries. The finish is long with apples and honey right through to the end.

Vinous
Rather gamey, Chassagne-Montrachet-like aromas of truffle, mint, smoke and citrus fruits. Big, rich and ripe; quite full for the vintage. Pear skin and citrus oil notes along with a slightly roasted nutty quality. Finishes fairly long, with a hint of unabsorbed acidity. Stephen Tanzer1st November 1999
