Champagne Drappier Grande Sendrée 2015 is the prestige vintage cuvée of this historic Côte des Bar house, combining the generosity of Pinot Noir with the tension and precision of Chardonnay.

Made from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, the wine shows ripe yellow peach, pear and mandarin peel, followed by brioche, toasted almond, quince and subtle spice. With time in the glass, notes of pastry, honey and chalk begin to emerge.

The palate is broad and vinous, with a fine, creamy mousse and enough acidity to keep the wine focused. Its low dosage gives the finish a dry, mineral character, while extended lees aging contributes depth and complexity.

Grande Sendrée is an excellent example of the more gastronomic side of Champagne: structured enough for the table, yet refined enough to drink on its own.

This Champagne was also served during the last G7 Summit in Évian, France, adding a relevant prestige reference for collectors and Champagne lovers.

Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, scallops, roast poultry, mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or grilled turbot.

Serve around 50–54°F in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass or white-wine glass.
