Of the 37 top Champagnes Jancis Robinson reviewed in the 2010 vintage, only a special $400 bottling from Philipponnat and Dom Perignon rated higher than the Drappier Grande Sendree. She said:
Really quite evolved on the nose. Very piercing and dense! Extremely intense. With a very fine bead. Extremely long. Almost more of a wine than a champagne.
