First produced in 1975, Grande Sendrée is the single-vineyard prestige cuvée of Maison Drappier. It takes its name from a parcel of land covered in cinders [cendrée] after a fire which almost destroyed Urville in 1838. The 1990 vintage is a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, and it offers ripe and lush fruit, including tangerine and lemon, complemented by a lovely toasty character.

Vinous
Aromas of toast, toffee and apple. Fairly dry, fresh and rich, with toast and toffee flavors. Very good ripeness and length. This wine shows much finer aromas than most other Champagnes from the Aube (this is actually from a single very old vineyard), and in fact performed better than a bottle I sampled a year ago.Stephen Tanzer1st November 1999
