Demi sec

A rich discovery

The Demi-Sec cuvée reflects the style and values of the Taittinger House. This seductive and complex champagne, is a delight to discover or rediscover.

The Demi-Sec is made with 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. The grapes are sourced from 40 different vineyards and multiple harvests, and are matured to perfection. The wine is cellar-aged for over five years before being disgorged. With a dosage of 33g/litre of sugar, this differentiates it from the Brut Réserve, providing it with a specific sweetness to favour its pairing with desserts.
