Wine Appreciation / Oenophiles

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!
