This wine is from France, Champagne region. Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec is blended largely from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The blend is completed by about a quarter of Chardonnay and 15-25% of reserve wines. A higher dosage gives it richer notes without detracting from its freshness.
Light yellow-gold. Deeply pitched aromas of peach nectar, tangerine and honey, with a toasty topnote. Offers plump orchard fruit and floral flavors and a smooth texture, with a touch of honey adding depth. Finishes with good sappy persistence and lingering floral and candied fig notes. Not overtly sweet.This is a rich demi-sec without being too sweet. It has a good balance of ripe creamed-pear and baked-apple flavors along with a bright layer of acidity. It's an harmonious whole, and ready to drink now.
True to Veuve Clicquot style, Demi-Sec is blended largely from Pinot Noir and has a higher dosage which gives it richer notes, without detracting from its freshness.A fine, even effervescence greets the eye, the wine is a beautiful yellowwith deep golden highlights. On the nose, it is rich in the scents of ripe fruit with hints of toasts and brioche.In the mouth, the wine displays both roundness and mellowness, combined with a delightful freshness due to its gentle acidity. The aromas of ripe fruit are very noticeable. With its equilibrium tending towards sweetness and fruited flavors, Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec goes particularly well with those desserts which have a fruit base: pear tarts, gratin aux agrumes, charlotte aux abricots. But equally, iles flottantes, crepes Suzette, creme brulee, nougat glace, or France's traditional Twelfth Night cake, are perfect partners for this great Champagne.
