95/100 James Suckling

“Wow. Full-bodied and rich, with aromas and flavors of brioche and salted butter, as well as dried apple and flint. Full-bodied, complex, and delicious, with a long, creamy finish. Becomes rather dry on the finish thanks to the pearly bubbles. Drink now.”

ABOUT THE CUVÉE :

This is a Champagne much appreciated by many champagne lovers. It is a prestige champagne produced by the Drappier house, located in the Champagne region of France. Cuvée Grande Sendrée is mainly made from Pinot Noir grapes, with a small amount of Chardonnay. This gives the champagne a beautiful complexity and aromatic richness. It has aromas of ripe fruit, toast and hazelnut, with an elegant minerality.

Serving and tasting advice:

As for serving and tasting, we recommend serving Grande Sendrée at a temperature of around 8-10 degrees Celsius to bring out its aromas and freshness. Champagne flutes can be used for tasting, as they help concentrate the aromas.

When tasting, take time to savor the champagne, swirling it in your glass to release its aromas. Observe its color and fine, persistent bubbles, then inhale its aromas before taking your first sip. Allow the champagne to expand on the palate to appreciate its texture and complexity. You can note the flavors and sensations you experience.

Champagne and food pairings: 

We also recommend tasting Grande Sendrée with fine foods such as seafood, fish, refined poultry or even truffle dishes. This will create a harmonious taste experience.
