Special Offer. Laurent Perrier Demi Sec - Now £27.95 each !!
Tasting Notes:
Brilliant and intense golden yellow in colour. This wine is richly expressive, it opens with aromas of dried fruit, almonds and hazelnuts, followed by grilled and toasted aromas. After a few years, the nose will evolve towards deeper notes of honey and pine resin.
Full-bodied and generous, it is a rich wine with rounded feel.
Aged for at least three years. The wine is then dosed with a liqueur made up from cane sugar dissolved in wine from the same cuvee. The dosage is 45 grams per litre*.
Serve between 6°C and 8°C.
Grape Variety:
Chardonnay 45%, Pinot Noir 40%, Pinot Meunier 15%.
The blend is made of wines from more than 55 crus or villages with an average vineyard rating of an impressive 94%. At least 10%, and sometimes over 20% of reserve wines are also used to ensure perfect consistency in the Demi-Sec.
Pairing with food:
The full-bodied nature and slight sweetness of Demi-Sec naturally calls for sweet dessert dishes and will add depth and flavours to such desserts, especially pastries.
Background Information:
The general movement towards dryer wines, together with the habit of drinking champagne as an aperitif, has popularised the consumption of Brut. However, many wine-lovers still enjoy the softness and the gentle reminder of past pleasures provided by a Demi-Sec, especially when served with a dessert.
Founded in 1812, Laurent Perrier has been avant-garde in creating unique and elegant Champagnes for nearly two hundred years making it one of the world’s most esteemed Champagne brands, and also the largest family-owned brand.
