#RAREAWARDS   RARE 2012 – 97 POINTS JamesSuckling.com – CLAIRE NESBITT   We are excited to reveal that Rare Champagne’s newest Millésime, Rare 2012 has received 97 POINTS from Claire Nesbitt, from James Suckling’s team. "Complex notes of buttered toast, orange rind, licorice, fig and brioche on the nose, followed by honey and salted caramel on the palate. It’s layered, powerful and rich, yet so fresh and lively, with very fine bubbles that are well integrated. Long and intense. 70% chardonnay and 30% pinot noir. At least 10 years on the lees. 8g/L dosage. Drink or hold." - Claire Nesbitt. Thank you Claire Nesbitt !   #RARECHAMPAGNE #JAMESSUCKLING #97POINTS #CHAMPAGNEEXCELLENCE

  #RAREAWARDS   RARE 2012 – 96 POINTS Wine Spectator – ALISON NAPJUS   We are honored to announce that Rare Champagne’s newest Millésime, Rare 2012 has received an outstanding 96 POINTS from Alison Napjus, at Wine Spectator.   “A graceful Champagne that waltzes across the palate, with a fine, plush mousse carrying a lovely range of ripe black cherry, pureed raspberry, candied ginger, Mandarin orange peel, grilled nut and pastry flavors enlivened by a vibrant spine of lemony acidity. To a certain extent, the precision and elegance belies the focus and breadth on display, so sip this slowly and enjoy as it opens in the glass and expands on the palate, echoing on the finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2040." - Alison Napjus. Thank you Alison Napjus !   #RARECHAMPAGNE #WINESPECTATOR #96POINTS #CHAMPAGNEEXCELLENCE

Rare Millésime 2012 is an ODE TO JOY Rare Millésime 2012 is just as iconic as Rare Millésime 2002. In a warm yet precise and lively combination, the spiced aromas, floral accents and tropical notes create vivacious minerality. Rare Champagne 2012 is a well-structured vintage with playful vibrancy. Like an "Ode to Joy", the poem wrote by Friedrich Von Schiller in 1785 which inspired Ludwig van Beethoven in the final fourth mouvement of his Ninth Symphony, Rare Millésime 2012 has the musicality of an Icon. Its radiant personality shines through its exceptional length. Its ageing potential, beyond 2040. #RARECHAMPAGNE #RAREEXCELLENCE #JEWELOFCHAMPAGNE Maud Rabin Emilien Boutillat Jonathan Boulangeat Cecile Vangelisti Céline MACHADO Antoine Tremel Willem Pinçon Nerissa (Jieying) C.
