True to the structure of Veuve Clic Wines, the Demi-Sec is blended largely from Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier. The blend is completed by about a quarter of Chardonnay & 15-25% of reserve wines. A higher dosage gives it richer notes detracting from its freshness. A beautiful yellow colour with deep golden glints, & fine, even mousse. An intense fragrance reminiscent of ripe fruit (candied citrus fruit, fruit liqueurs) with notes of brioche & toast. Round & mellow in the mouth, with mild acidity maintaining a pleasant silkiness. The practice of decanting this wine, which dates to Madam Clicquot's time, makes it even more delectable. The Demi-Sec is at its best with desserts. Pastries & desserts based on fresh fruit, citrus & dried fruit will lend delightfully with the wine's smooth qualities.
