Rare Brut Rosé Millésime 2012 is a Champagne of exceptional character, born from one of the most intriguing and complex vintages of the past decade. This prestigious cuvée represents a perfect harmony of power, elegance, and finesse, crafted by Rare Champagne, a house renowned for producing wines exclusively in truly outstanding years.
The 2012 vintage was marked by extreme weather conditions, yet ultimately resulted in wines of remarkable concentration, freshness, and complexity. Rare Rosé 2012 was created through a meticulous blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a carefully measured addition of red wine to achieve the perfect balance of structure, fruit, and color.
On the nose, it reveals expressive aromas of wild strawberries, rose petals, white pepper, and subtle mineral undertones. The palate unveils layers of ripe red fruit, citrus zest, and spice, carried by a creamy texture and fine, vibrant bubbles. The finish is elegant, bright, and impressively long.
Rare Champagne is a premium, high-quality champagne produced by the renowned house of Jacques Selosse. Anselme Selosse, the visionary winemaker behind this brand, revolutionized Champagne production by focusing on small-scale, terroir-driven practices and a philosophy that emphasized the quality of the vineyard's fruit over mass production.
