Drappier Grande Sendr\u00e9e ros\u00e9 2005<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Drappier Grande Sendr\u00e9e ros\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

Cuv\u00e9e Grande Sendr\u00e9e takes its name from a parcel of land covered in ashes after the fire that ravaged Urville in 1838. A spelling error slipped in when copying the land registry, and today an “S” distinguishes this cuv\u00e9e. A reproduction of an 18th-century bottle found in the Urville cellars, Grande Sendr\u00e9e is stirred entirely by hand. Exclusively vinified in the great years, Grande Sendr\u00e9e’s raw materials and techniques combine all our know-how to produce a great Champagne wine. On tasting, the wine has a golden-honey color. Aromas of peach, apricot and gingerbread. Mouth of brioche and pain de mie, enveloped in the floral freshness of chardonnay. Notes of mandarin orange and licorice. Excellent balance. <\/h5>\n

Bollinger R.D. 2002<\/h3>\n

Bollinger R.D. 2002<\/p><\/div>\n

Only the greatest vintages are elevated to the rank of Bollinger R.D.: 2002 is certainly one of the most promising vintages of the last decade. R.D. for “R\u00e9cemment D\u00e9gorg\u00e9”: it was in 1967 that Madame Bollinger created this legendary cuv\u00e9e, offering the world the chance to taste a champagne that had been aged on its lees to the extreme. Her vision? To enable enlightened connoisseurs to share that very special moment when a recently disgorged wine offers extraordinary freshness and sumptuous aromatic expression. A small revolution in the world of champagne…
\nTo the eye: golden with subtle reflections. On the nose: aromas of ripe, stewed fruit, especially quince, with a discreet hint of honey. Later, toasty, even cocoa notes emerge, giving way to scents of star anise and nutmeg. On the palate: a fleshy attack. Powerful yet balanced, with great persistence. Mineral finish with lemony hints revealing beautiful bitters. <\/h5>\n
