Billecart-Salmon Demi-Sec

About the product - Demi-sec or 'half-dry' is a silky champagne style that is sweeter that the normal Brut - Winemaker is Florent Lys and below is his tasting notes - Pair with brioche anything. We tried it with a cinnamon 'Bronut'. Superb. Appearance: It has a beautiful, pale gold colour, emitting a constant procession of fine, regular and persistent bubbles in the glass. Aroma: On the nose it is lively with a hint of delicate white flowers which evolve 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. Technical details: 40 PM, 30 CH, 30 PN | 50-60% reserve wines | Vin de dosage is 40 g/L About the house One of the leading families of Champagne, this medium sized, high quality domain is one to be admired. Billecart-Salmon (Pronounced beel-kahr sahl-moh) have a fresh, clean and elegant style. They champion the use of the meunier grape which is often added to other cuvées without fanfare in other houses. The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit. Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches.   Food Pairing Ideal when served with patisseries or chocolate cake; it also turns a brioche afternoon snack into a unique experience.
