Antonio Galloni

The 1999 Rare is a medium-bodied, focused offering redolent of flowers, pears and green apples. Here, too, the wine is well- made and offers good definition but not the detail or complexity of its peers at this price point. Piper-Heidsieck’s Rare is Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This bottle was disgorged in December, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012.

A lovely, yeasty nose with just a faint hint of undergrowth leading to a soft, leesy palate with a good deal of autolysis. Crisp and oozing mineralite on the finish. Excellent. Tasted April 2008.
