A blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir in a blend of 11 crus. Aged on the lees for 11 years before disgorgement. Floral, orange blossom character on the nose together with nutty, saline and smoky nuances. Crisp citrus and tropical fruit on the palate, concluding on a long and complex finish.
93 Robert Parker
The 2008 Brut Cuvée Rare, now re-baptized as "Rare Champagne," continues to evolve at a glacial pace. Offering up aromas of citrus oil, freshly baked bread and wet stones, it's medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with a tangy spine of acidity and a pretty pinpoint mousse, but much in the way of texture or amplitude has yet to emerge. While I continue to think that this has the makings of a very attractive bottling, continued patience is advised. — William Kelley, 31st August 2022
