Demi-Sec Champagne is an indulgent and slightly sweeter side of France's most iconic sparkling wine. It offers the perfect balance between richness and effervescence. With a higher dosage (sugar content) than Brut, but less than Doux, Demi-Sec Champagne delivers a lush, rounded flavour profile without overwhelming the palate. It's crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise, and often features the same elegant blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes found in drier styles. However, its added touch of sweetness enhances fruitiness and body, making it especially versatile for both sipping and pairing.
Expect flavours of ripe pear, honeyed citrus, candied ginger, and stone fruit, all wrapped in a creamy mousse and vibrant acidity. Demi-Sec is a fantastic companion to desserts like fruit tarts, macarons, or crème brûlée, but it also shines with spicy Asian dishes or creamy cheeses. It's excellent as a toast paired with wedding cake. Perfect for those who prefer a softer, more approachable Champagne experience, Demi-Sec offers a luxurious, crowd-pleasing alternative that still delivers all the finesse and sparkle Champagne is known for.
