The Grande Sendrée Cuvée 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 cuvée is designated today. A reproduction of an 18th century bottle found in the Urville cellars is used and the Grande Sendrée undergoes remuage entirely by hand. Since the 1999 vintage it is also available as a Magnum.

Grande Sendrée is the name of an archipelago of plots on Kimmeridgian chalk, covered in ash after the fire that ravaged Urville in 1836. In a unique Louis XV bottle, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are revealed at their highest level.
2012 VINTAGE
A freezing winter for some nights with -20°c and abundant rainfall in the spring were followed by a hot and dry summer which allowed the berries to ripen that started badly and ended beautifully with one of the most beautiful vintages of the 21st century, for a rather small quantity.At Drappier, a historically devastating hail storm destroyed a large part of the harvest. Fortunately, the Grande Sendrée parcels, away form the main slope, were spared.

DÉGUSTATION
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. A great Champagne for ageing.
