Grand Sendrée 2012

Tasting note

A complex, layered Champagne on the nose, where ripe cherry meets delicate white flowers and a hint of vanilla. The palate is elegant and balanced, with lovely aromatic complexity. The flavours unfold in harmony, leading to a mineral, subtly spicy finish that lingers pleasantly.

Terroir

Grande Sendrée is the name of a contiguous group of plots on Kimmeridgian chalk. It owes its name to the major fire that devastated Urville in 1836 and covered the area with a layer of ash.
