Piper-Heidsieck Rare Brut Champagne Millesimé 2013

This Rare Brut Champagne from Piper-Heidsieck is an exquisite blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. The wine is made in a strictly-controlled millesimé style, meaning that only the grapes of a single vintage are used. Its light golden color is complemented by a nose of candied citrus and honeycomb, with a hint of biscuit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, with flavors of apple and pear, citrus notes, and a hint of brioche. It is balanced by a lively acidity and persistent mousse. The finish is lively and long. Enjoy this elegant Champagne as an aperitif, or pair it with light seafood dishes.
