James Suckling, 91 Points 

"This has aromas of jasmine, almonds, vanilla, tarte tatin and poached pears. Excellent balance, with a medium body, soft bubbles and bright acidity. So clean, you almost forget about the sweetness. Blend of pinot noir with chardonnay and meunier. Around 40% reserve wines. 45g/L dosage." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Boasting a brilliant yellow color with deep golden highlights, this wine offers delicate bubbles and an intense nose of ripe fruit with hints of brioche. It is supple and full on the palate, while preserving its delightful, inherent freshness. After cellaring for two to three years, the Demi-Sec will take on even richer notes of praline. When serving Demi-Sec, connoisseurs continue a tradition unique to the Champagne region: they offer Veuve Clicquot in a decanter. A French style of life that celebrates the refined Epicurean."
