Drappier Grande Sendree 2012

After 10 years of handcraft, 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 still very tonic with subtle bitters while the low dosage leaves a tense and long finish with mineral and slightly spicy notes. Great as an aperitif, with shell fish, veal  A great Champagne for ageing. Not filtered and not decolorded.

35% of the wines are aged in casks. Very low sulphiting.

Bottle ageing for 9 years.

Dosage: 4,5g/L (liqueur de dosage matured in wood for 15 years).

Pinot Noir 55% Chardonnay 45%
