Drappier Brut Grande Sendree
| Vintage: | 2009 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Sendre Cuve takes its name from a parcel of land covered by cinders after the fire which ravaged Urville in 1836. A spelling error having slipped through in a new version of the land register, it is with an "s" that this cuve is designated today. A reproduction of an 18th century bottle found in the Urville cellars is used and the Grande Sendre undergoes remuage entirely by hand. Wine Advocate 94 Points -"Disgorged in January 2019 with four grams per liter dosage, the 2009 Brut Grande Sendre is still a little tightly wound after its recent disgorgement, but it already hints of the promise to come. Offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, honeycomb, quinine, stone fruit pits and freshly baked bread, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with racy acids, a crisp core of fruit and a penetrating and delicately chalky finish. This may not possess quite as much potential for the long haul as the 2008, but it will also hit its peak of expressiveness sooner. Every time I taste Grande Sendre, I wonder if Drappier might be the most underrated house in Champagne?" |
