Champagne Veuve Clicquot Demi Sec

The Veuve Clicquot is after Moet & Chandon the most drunk champagne brut in the world. In 1805, the 27-year-old widow Clicquot took over the management of the house founded in Reims in 1772 and became one of the first businesswomen in history. This brave and far-sighted woman introduced the world to her champagne. Know-how & craftsmanship: For more than 200 years, the house has lived up to its own motto: 'There is only one quality, the best'.
A consistent style: complex & powerful with mainly Pinot Noir. With a unique yellow house style, Veuve Clicquot exudes elegant vibrancy with an edge. An ideal gift. Makes parties and special occasions even more special.

A Demi-Sec is a (semi) sweet champagne. The Veuve Cliquot is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec has a refined balance between sweet and fruity flavors and is remarkably fresh. Ideal as an accompaniment to a fruity dessert. The wine is a beautiful yellow with deep golden highlights and fine, even bubbles. Rich in aromas of ripe fruit (candied fruit, berry liqueur) with hints of toasted bread and brioche. The wine feels soft and round and is wonderfully fresh thanks to the mild acidity. With pronounced aromas of ripe fruit.

As the taste tends towards sweet and fruity flavors, Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec goes particularly well with fruit-based desserts: pear tart, gratin aux argues, charlotte with apricots. But îles flottantes, crêpes Suzette, crème brûlée, nougat glacé or a traditional French Epiphany bread are also ideal partners for this great champagne. After extra time in the cellar (two or three years or even longer under the right conditions), Demi-Sec develops even richer notes of praline or toasted bread. Then the Champagne goes perfectly with desserts based on caramel or praline: Paris-Brest, tarte tatin, pears with caramel.
