Billecart-Salmon Champagne Demi-Sec 750ml

Appearance: Its pale gold colour is beautiful, emitting a constant ballet of fine, regular and persistent bubbles in the flute. Aroma: Its nose is lively with a hint of delicate white flowers and envolves towards aromas of buttered brioche. Palate: This Demi-Sec champagne is full-flavoured and is a reference for its perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity.

(made with the same blend as the Brut Reserve, with a 42 g/l dosage; L419131 09176M): Light yellow. Aromas of poached pear, honey and buttered toast, plus a hint of white peach that gains strength with air. Fleshy, broad and appealingly sweet but in no way cloying, offering juicy orchard fruit and melon flavors and a touch of bitter peach pit. A buttery quality comes up on the finish, which clings with strong fruity intensity. I imagine that this opulent, fruity but focused Champagne would do wonders with practically any cheese out there, especially salty, washed rind and blue versions.

The blend of the BILLECART-SALMON Demi-Sec champagne is identical to that of the Brut Reserve (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier), however, the dosage is greater.
