Billecart-Salmon Description
The Demi-Sec has an identical blend to the Brut Réserve. It maintains the same finesse and elegance as this cuvée but with a greater dosage.
- APPEARANCE: It has a beautiful, pale gold colour, emitting a constant procession of fine, regular and persistent bubbles in the glass.
- PALATE: This Demi-Sec champagne is full-flavoured and is a reference for its perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity.
- AROMA: On the nose it is lively with a hint of delicate white flowers which evolve towards aromas of buttered brioche.
- TASTING: Ideal when served with patisseries or chocolate cake; it also turns a brioche afternoon snack into a unique experience.

(made with the same blend as the Brut Reserve, with a 42 g/l dosage): 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. -- Josh Raynolds
