The masterclass was Boutillat’s first vertical of Rare Champagne in the UK.
Having joined Piper-Heisieck in 2018 and taken over from Régis Camus as chief winemaker for both Piper-Heidsieck and Rare in 2022, the young cellar master has the depth of knowledge and sharp sense of the past, present and future of the house that usually only comes with decades of experience at the helm of a leading Champagne house.
There have only been 14 vintages of Rare produced, so this was a chance for 80 guests to taste ‘half of the entire world of Rare Champagne,’ said Boutillat.
