The Chief Winemaker adapts dosage levels to each Champagne in order to enhance its flavours and aromas. The choice of reserve wine is crucial and takes into consideration a whole range of factors, including the proportion of cru wines, year of harvest, grape varieties, and vinification and ageing methods, in order to guarantee the intrinsic style of each Champagne.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep golden colour.
    Harmonious bubbles.
  • Nose: Rich and intense. Mature notes of dried fruits (apricot, raisins) followed by almonds and
    vanilla. Great deal of substance.
  • Palate: The mouth is smooth, enhanced by candied fruits and hazelnut. Nice and rich balance of toasted bread and honey.

The finish is fleshy, underlined by yellow fruits (mango), and ends on a silky and soft touch.

Food Pairings

The Réserve Exclusive Demi-Sec is at its best with desserts. It particularly pairs with pastries, crêpes, a brioche or panettone, adding depth and flavours. Perfect to toast the bride and groom at the cake-cutting ceremony!
Its richness and vinosity also bring out the best of sweet/savoury dishes (foie gras with a chutney), spices from Caribbean or Indian dishes, and more surprisingly of blue cheeses (Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola) or Soumaintrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a champagne demi-sec ?

Dosage consists of adding sugar and reserve wines at the time of disgorging, with the amount of sugar varying according to the desired category of Champagne (from Brut to Demi-Sec for Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte). Champagne Appellation legislation authorizes a dosage of between 32 and 50g of sugar per liter for the Demi-Sec champagne (less than 12g per liter for brut champagne).

At what temperature and how should champagne be served?

Depending on when you plan to drink it, the ideal temperature ranges from 7 to 12 degrees Celsius. For an aperitif, a cool temperature of between 7 and 8 degrees is best. For meals, a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees is fine.

Serving champagne: hold the bottle by the base and pour the champagne gently in several stages if necessary. Ideally, champagne should be served in a specific glass, such as our "Absolu" glass.

How long can champagne be stored?

Unlike some wines, champagne is not designed to age indefinitely. However, certain bottles can be kept for several years under optimal conditions.

  • Non-vintage champagne: This type of champagne is generally ready to drink as soon as it is purchased and can be kept for around 2 to 3 years without any loss of quality.
  • Vintage champagne: These champagnes, produced from a single exceptional harvest year, have a longer aging potential. They can be stored for 5 to 10 years, or even longer, depending on the initial aging time of the cuvée.

In both cases, it is important to consume the champagne before its quality begins to decline. The delicate aromas and effervescence can diminish over time, even under the best conditions.

How should I store my bottle of champagne?


To preserve your champagne quality, it is important to store it away from light, at a constant temperature (ideally between 10°C and 12°C). Storing bottles horizontally is ideal to ensure that the cork remains in contact with the liquid.

A well-ventilated cellar with a humidity level between 70% and 85% is the best option.
