After 10 years of handcraft, 2012 Grande Sendrée is mature but can still wait
for many years. The pinot
noir is still dominant with
its Napoleon cherry notes. Chardonnay is also very present on the palate with its fresh vanilla and with flower notes. In mouth, it is stll very tonic whith sublte bitters while the low dosage leaves a tense and long finish with mineral and slightly spicy notes. A great Champagne for ageing.
