TASTING NOTES:
A touch of sweetness with aromatic intensity
A warm yellow with deep golden flecks.
Rich scents of ripe candied fruits and berry liquor are dominant, with notes of toasted brioche.
Round and mellow, this champagne achieves a beautiful balance between lively freshness and gentle sweetness. Flavours of ripe and candied fruits are revealed. With age, it will develop richer, toasty praline notes.
Cellar Master, Veuve Clicquot

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec
Pinot noir (40-45%), meunier (30-35%) and chardonnay (20-25%) are blended from 20-30% reserve wines to ensure the maison's signature style is maintained, with the demi-sec's distinctive fruit flavours coming from meunier.
The chef de cave determines the dosage – 45 grams per litre, creating the champagne's sweetness whilst preserving its lively freshness.
Expert reviews
Hint of almonds. Very sweet and tight beaded. Definitely making a play for an almost rich champagne. Taut finish. Long.

Expert reviews
Demi-Sec is essentially an off-dry Champagne. This wine is soft, hinting at some sweetness while preserving crisp citrus and apple flavors. It has some richness as well, and its soft character makes it a good partner with cold meats or pâtés.

FOOD PAIRING:
A sweeter champagne for rich dishes
This champagne is generous and stand up to the richness of foie gras.
Once decanted, Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec takes on a much rounder feel in the mouth. Experiment by pairing it with a highly spiced lamb curry.
Warm apple pie, crèpes Suzette and crème brûlée go particularly well with the sweetness of this champagne.
