The traditional proportions for Demi Sec are: 40 to 45% Pinot Noir, 30 to 35% Meunier, 20 to 25 % Chardonnay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with all Veuve Clicquot blends, Demi-Sec is predominantly Pinot Noir (40-45%), which gives the champagne its fundamental structure. The pursuit of very distinct fruit flavors means that there is a higher level of Meunier (30-35%) in the blend than would typically be found in Yellow Label, for example, and Chardonnay completes the blend (20-25%). The inclusion of 30-45% reserve wines ensures the consistency of the Veuve Clicquot style. The long aging in our Crayères (3 years minimum for Demi-Sec) gives silkiness to the Champagne. Finally, a dosage of 45 g\/L gives Demi-Sec a sweeter balance of flavors while preserving the wine’s inherent freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul class=\"field-items\"\u003e \u003cli class=\"field-item even\"\u003eWhite and yellow fruits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"field-item odd\"\u003eBlue cheese\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"field-item even\"\u003ePanettone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"field-item odd\"\u003eMillefeuille\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"field-item even\"\u003eBrioche\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"field-item odd\"\u003eVanilla\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUSTAINABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach step of the wine production process is meticulously conducted to ensure that the vines are treated with the utmost care and that the production processes have as little impact as possible in terms of consumption, emissions and waste. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs a major international player in the luxury sector and due to the exceptional nature of its legacy, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin’s responsibility is considerable. Fully aware of the importance of its role, the House has been implementing an active approach in all aspects of its business for over fifteen years, from the work in the vineyard to the distribution of its wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe are able to maintain our quality thanks to our longstanding supplier relationships. In fact, there are some families that have given grapes to Veuve Clicquot for more than six generations; we are very attached to the relationship of proximity and loyalty. This continual development of our supply could not be accomplished without the help of a service uniquely dedicated to our Partners. The \"Supply and Vineyard Relations\" service is composed of ten people on the ground that work towards this end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1999 , Veuve Clicquot was the first Maison to set up a technical department dedicated to its grape suppliers. Naturally, this team now is working to implement a Champagne Sustainable Viticulture with our Partners. By leveraging our passion and expertise, our technicians crisscross Champagne to meet with other winemakers, always advancing towards an ever more respectful common viticulture for our land, air and water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51380295139541,"sku":"TSW\u0026S_VWS_4341","price":98.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/image_68351b72-14c4-4bd1-b8a7-c43aaab66dba.jpg?v=1744813582","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/veuve-clicquot-demi-sec-champagne","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
