The idea of Rare, as its name says, is to produce limited quantities in singular and exceptional vintages, said Émilien Boutillat, chief winemaker Rare.

The 2013 vintage is only the 13th release of Rare since the debut of this prestige cuvée from the 1976 vintage in 1985. 'It is rare because of the quantity, of the frequency and the singularity of each vintage that we produce'. Rare Millésime 2013 expresses the house's signature-blending minerality with a tropical twist-in two stages. Despite its initially reserved appearance, this vintage unfurls delicious notes of pastries and spices in a saline tension that is both noble and full-bodied.
