Produced in very small quantities from old vines, Drappier Grande Sendrée 2012 is a prestigious champagne, which only is produced in great years. It surprises by its finesse and its refinement in expressing its aromatic complexity. It is the subtle expression of accomplished aromas.

A golden colour with amber hues.
On the nose
La Grande Sendrée subtly unfolds aromas of dried fruit, a few hints of toast and beeswax, opening up to fruity notes of citrus, white flesh and stone fruit.
In the mouth
The palate favours vinosity, depth and structure.
Food & champagne pairings
Ideal as an aperitif. Perfect with crayfish with grapefruit, scallop carpaccio, truffled Bresse poultry with cream.

Potential of keeping
Ideal to be enjoyed now, the Grande Sendrée 2012 can also be cellared for a few more years.
55% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay, this perfectly balanced prestige champagne favours power and high expression.
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.
