drappier grande sendrée 2010
Reference: 109112Stock: 21 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
although the vine was first planted in urville by the gallo-romans 2000 years ago, it was saint bernard, founder of the clairvaux abbey, who had these cellars built in 1152. seven centuries later, in 1808, it was around this medieval testimony, magnificently preserved, where the vintages sleep, that the family domain was created, directed today by michel drappier. home of the pinot noir, a grape variety that "runs in our veins", it is in urville that the vineyard was planted, cultivated according to organic and natural principles. as "archives" of the long history of this house, they also continue to cultivate forgotten and yet unforgettable grape varieties: fromenteau, arbane, petit meslier and blanc vrai. today, instead of sophisticated and sometimes overrated excellence, they prefer authenticity and naturalness. thanks in particular to a very low dosage and an extremely moderate use of sulfites, of which the brut nature sans soufre is the result, they highlight the multiple facets of their terroirs and their vinification. the 2010 brut grande sendrée has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with youthful aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, white peach and fresh bread. medium to full-bodied, bright and concentrated, it's youthfully tightly wound, with a racy spine of acidity, an elegant pinpoint mousse and a penetrating, chalky finish. this can't quite match the plenitude of the 2009, but it may outpace it with time, as this is an impressively vibrant, structured young grande sendrée.
