Demi Sec Blanc de blancs Grand Cru Champagne Bernard Pertois

The indulgence of a Demi-Sec without ever losing the elegance of Le Mesnil.

Demi-Sec has become a rarity in Champagne. Yet, when crafted from outstanding Grand Cru Chardonnay, it reveals a particularly appealing balance between richness and freshness.

Here, Bernard Pertois applies the same exacting standards as for the rest of the range: grapes sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru vineyards of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, vinification in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit, and several years of cellar ageing. The only difference lies in the more generous dosage, which transforms the wine’s expression without masking its identity.

The Chardonnay naturally provides enough tension to balance the 32 g/L of sugar. The result is never heavy: notes of pastry, honey and candied fruit remain supported by the freshness that is so characteristic of the Côte des Blancs.

Within the Bernard Pertois range, this cuvée holds a unique place. While the other Champagnes focus on the freshness and tension of Chardonnay, Demi-Sec explores a richer and more comforting style. It reminds us that Champagne can also be a remarkable dessert wine when crafted with precision.

Enjoy it with a fruit tart, brioche, pan-seared foie gras or simply during a gourmet moment.
