Tasting notes
A rather puzzling judgement call, I thought, to show the Demi-Sec after the Brut NV and before the Ultra Brut. I'm not sure it helped the Demi-Sec or the Ultra Brut. 45% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier. RS 40 g/l. A fraction more colour than La Cuvée. Smells of warm crème anglaise, brioche and peaches. Not awfully sweet tasting, considering all that residual sugar. Loosely woven. Biscuits and nectarines and late-harvest apples. Very appley and easy. But I'm not sure this is sweet enough for dessert. Possibly with fresh strawberries and a spoonful of mascarpone? (TC)
