About The Wine

A Champagne that doesn’t just sparkle—it dazzles, stuns, and seduces, all while whispering, “You’re in for something special.”

First, let’s talk age. This beauty has spent twelve years evolving, maturing, and refining itself into something truly magnificent. While most Champagnes barely get the chance to reach their prime, Rare Millésime 2013 has been patiently waiting, developing layers of complexity and character that only time can bestow. This isn’t just a sip—it’s a journey through time, a testament to what patience and perfection can achieve.

This isn’t just another vintage; it’s a testament to the extraordinary. Rare Champagne has only declared fourteen vintages in forty years—each chosen with the precision of a master jeweler selecting the finest diamond. The 2013 vintage? A masterpiece shaped by nature’s whim and the guiding hand of one of Champagne’s greatest legends, Régis Camus.

And if you think you’re just drinking Champagne, think again. This is a sip of history, a nod to an 1885 cuvée crafted for French royalty, a tribute to the artistry of time, patience, and perfection. Every bottle is an invitation to the extraordinary—a reminder that the finest moments in life deserve a Champagne as rare as they are.

2013 Rare Millésime Brut Champagne: 12 Years in the Making, a Lifetime to Remember.

On the palate, Rare Millésime 2013 delivers a dazzling symphony of flavors, unfolding in waves of creamy meringue, rich marzipan, and a vibrant burst of kumquat, blood orange, and kiwi. The texture is both silky and electric, finishing with a smoky depth and a signature minerality that lingers long after the last sip.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

Incredibly rich and smouldering with savoury nuts, toast and a piercing tang of bitter lemon with a fabulous silky texture imparting finesse and stature. Full of verve with gleaming waves of acidity and a lavish long length. ~97 Decanter

The Champagne's name is just right. It has a rare finesse that gives it a wonderful tense character. Poised between dryness, great maturity and dense fruit, the wine is ready to drink. ~95 Wine Enthusiast

An elegant, finessed Champagne, with the creamy mousse carrying a finely meshed yet concentrated range of blackberry puree and poached apricot flavors, plus blood orange peel, salted pistachio and aromatic accents of verbena, chalk and oyster shell. Shows mouthwatering acidity that carries the complex profile on the long finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2038. 500 cases imported. ~95 Wine Spectator
