TORONTO, Dec. 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Widely believed to be a stellar vintage for Champagne, the spring and summer of 2002 couldn't have been more ideal for formulating perfectly balanced chardonnay and pinot noir grapes. The Piper-Heidsieck 2002 Rare Vintage Champagne (LCBO# 380915, 750 mL for $259.95) is not only perfect to toast the most memorable of occasions, the bottle's stunning gold-filigreed design makes it highly collectable. Rated a 97 by Wine Spectator Magazine, Piper-Heidsieck has only declared seven other vintages as 'rare' in the past 30 years.
