Same cuvee as the Brut N.V. only with more sweetness (28 g.l. this year, drier than last year); you feel flowers spring up on your palate. Lots of canteloupe, and paradoxically it seems even more refreshing than the dry N.V. I mean, the fizz is delicious. Foie terrines yes we all know, but I rather envision this for unagi, for pan-Asian preps involving mango and other exotic fruits, for salads with lots of fruit and salt, maybe cantelope and lardons - even slaw. So get out on your deck with Margaine Demi-Sec! This is the same cuvee as the Brut N.V. only with 32 g.l. RS, rather like a Nahe Spatlese; wisteria and plum-blossom; head-turningly pretty and fine-boned; in many ways this is a perfect fusion-cuisine wine, but hardly a mainstream Champagne experience. Can I persuade you to reach for this, just once, when you're thinking German? - A. Margaine Champagne Traditionelle Demi-sec NV 750ml -
