In the mouth
The palate favours vinosity, depth and structure.

Potential of keeping
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
55% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay
Exclusively vinified in the great years, Grande Sendrée represents all the know-how of the House of Champagne Drappier for the elaboration of a great wine of Champagne. The oldest vines from the best plots are harvested with particular care. After a soft pressing which extracts only the heart of the cuvée, a vinification by gravity with very little pumping and little sulphur, will give wines of a remarkable finesse.
