The champagne Champagne Rare Millésime, vintage 2008 from the winery Champagne Rare has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir from the region Champagne in France.
Lemon zest frames the creamy richness on the nose that has hints of chalk and coconut macaroon but also reveals a beautiful depth that evokes summer rain on limestone soils. The palate comes with all the precision and exquisite freshness of 2008 but encapsulates a truffle- like complexity at its concentrated core: there is a floral hit of peony, something rich reminiscent of milk chocolate ganache and more of that virile and pervasive lemon freshness. This is glorious and somehow manages to convey great richness within that elegant and characteristic framework set by the amazing 2008 vintage. A.K.
