2010 Drappier Brut Grande Sendrée

 A wonderful discovery. I'll be acquiring more of this wine. Currently in its early stage of drinkability. Lovely nose of red fruit upon opening. Delicious out of the gate. Fine mousse on an elegant framework of apple and biscuit. Typically, this cuvee is a blend of equal parts pinot noir and chardonnay, a third of which is fermented in barrel followed by seven years of aging in bottle. Customarily, four to five g/l dosage. Graceful acidity mellowed by malolactic. Sourced exclusively from a single parcel in Urville in the Côte des Bar.
