Rare Champagne winery in Reims, France
About

Rare Champagne began as a prestige cuvée associated with Piper-Heidsieck and became a separate brand in 2018. Its range is made from selected vintages rather than a standing non-vintage Champagne. The producer gives each declared year its own release notes.

Current and earlier releases

The house’s collection includes Rare Millésime 2013 and Rare Rosé Millésime 2014. Earlier wines remain documented, including Millésime 2008, which the house calls “Infini,” and Rosé Millésime 2012. Compare the harvest year and whether the bottle is white or rosé; do not treat the range as one fixed blend.

Finding the wine

Rare’s site publishes bottle details and past collaborations but no regular public cellar-tour schedule in Reims. Check a merchant or restaurant for the specific vintage you want, and contact the producer directly before planning any visit.
