Will you be doing any demi-sec? I keep wanting to buy some of yours but my girlfriend isn't so keen on brut rolls

We still do Demi-Sec, as it is only a question of dosage.
Dosage’ is the last step before final corking. This is the addition of a small quantity of ‘liqueur de dosage’ to the wine – also known as the ‘liqueur d’expédition’
So while our Brut is dosed at just below 7gr/l (so on the edge of Extra-Brut ), the Demi-Sec is dosed at 32gr/l.
For reference, the quantity added varies according to the style of Champagne:
- doux more than 50 grams of sugar per litre
- demi-sec 32-50 grams of sugar per litre
- sec 17-32 grams of sugar per litre
- extra dry 12-17 grams of sugar per litre
- brut less than 12 grams of sugar per litre
- extra brut 0-6 grams of sugar per litre
I have 2x bottle of demi-sec in London stock at the moment if you fancy them!
- doux more than 50 grams of sugar per litre

We are currently working on our rebranding to help us increasing our international sales.
Our Champagne is still the same, just a new look that is more appealing to international distributors (we are told!).
We are also launching a new cuvée which is matured in oak casks, made from oak trees which grew in our village.
