Réserve Exclusive Demi-sec
A harmonious blend of 20% chardonnay imparting elegance and finesse, 40% pinot noir for roundness and structure and 40% meunier for fruitiness and soft, supple character.
Aged for 3-4 years in our cellars.
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.
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 Carribbean or Indian dishes, and more surprisingly of blue cheeses (Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton) or Soumaintrain.
Demi-Sec Champagne
"Dosage" consists of adding sugar and reserve wines at the time of disgorgement, the quantity of sugar varying according to the desired category of champagne (from Brut to Demi-Sec for Nicolas Feuillatte champagnes).
The Champagne Appellation legislation allows a dosage between 32 to 50g of sugar per litre for the making of a Demi-Sec champagne.
The wines chosen for the blend of this Réserve Exclusive Demi-Sec have a natural tension to balance such a dosage.
