Drappier Grande Sendrée Brut Vintage 2012 Champagne 75cl
Grande Sendrée is the name of an archipelago of plots on Kimmeridgian chalk, covered in ash a er the re that ravaged Urville in 1836. Cendree (cinders) changed to Sendree after a light spelling error made its way into the new version of the land register.
In a unique Louis XV bottle, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are revealed at their highest level. Ideal as an apéritif, superb with a carpaccio de SaintJacques or a truffed Brillat Savarin.
The 2012 Grande Sendrée is mature but can still wait for many years. The pinot noir is still dominant with its Napoleon cherry notes. Chardonnay is also very present on the palate with its fresh vanilla and with flower notes. In mouth, it is stll very tonic whith sublte bitters while the low dosage leaves a tense and long finish with mineral and slightly spicy notes. A great Champagne for ageing.
The Chardonnay displays a very fine elegance while the Pinot Noir, with its slight predominance, brings power and great vinosity.
