Piper-Heidsieck Rare 2002

Candied citrus peel, white blossom and a warm thread of ginger spice open this beautifully composed prestige cuvée. Bright Meyer lemon and dried pear fill the mid-palate, deepening gradually into toasted brioche and hazelnut. Fine, persistent bubbles carry the flavors through a long, stony finish with real tension and length. Built to go the distance.
