In a world that wants the driest possible bubbly, there is such prejudice against off-dry Champagne. However, it was once the dominant style in the 19th century, and we still love it! Demi-sec is the last stop before "Doux" Champagne, which is the sweetest. Billecart-Salmon is a nearly equal blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged on the lees for 30 months. The dosage is 40 grams per liter, translating into a not-too-sweet wine perfect on its own or with simple low-sugar desserts. Notes of buttered pandoro, flower blossoms, pears, and ripe stone fruit.
