Champagne Demi-Sec
Demi-sec
With its equilibrium that tends towards sweet and fruit flavors, Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec is an indulgent treat for champagne lovers – and perfectly suited for dessert.
The Blend
The inclusion of 20 to 30% of reserve wines ensures the consistency of the Veuve Clicquot style.
These wines are kept separate, each one cellared individually, as befits its origin and age.
The level of dosage - 45g/l decided at the moment of disgorgement - results in a sweeter balance of flavours, while preserving the wine’s inherent freshness.
Tasting notes
After additional cellaring (two to three years, or even more in the right conditions), Demi Sec develops even richer notes of praline or toasts. It is then ideal with caramel or praline based desserts: Paris-Brest, tarte Tatin, pears with caramel, etc…
