Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: 2010 Brut Ros Grande Sendre is showing very well, offering up an attractive bouquet of raspberries, wild plums, rhubarb and spices. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, vinous and tightly wound, with racy acids, a concentrated core of fruit and a sapid finish.

Producer Information

Champagne Drappier is a Champagne house located in the commune of Urville in the Aube, the southernmost subregion of Champagne.The house, founded in 1808, is known for its Pinot Noir-dominant wines, and its minimal use of sulfur and dosage. Drappier’s top wine is the prestige tte de cuve, Grande Sendre, and it produces a range of non-vintage and vintage Champagnes. The estate owns 62 hectares (153 acres) of vineyard land mainly around Urville and the wider Aude region. The company also sources fruit through contractual arrangements with local growers. Pinot Noir thrives in the Aube and makes up the bulk of Drappier’s plantings, although Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and small amounts of Petit Meslier, Blanc Vrai, and Arbane are also seen. In the winery, base wines are blended, bottled, and then aged on their lees in Drappier’s underground cellars. After remuage (riddling) and disgorgement, Drappier’s Champagnes are lightly dosed with liqueur d’expedition a wine that has been aged in oak casks, then in demijohns, for more than 10 years. This addition allows for a more complex, longer finish. Drappier’s Urville-based cellars were constructed by Cistercian monks from Clairvaux Abbey and are among the oldest in Champagne, dating back to 1152.
