Mercier Demi Sec Champagne

Demi Sec champers fills just 2% of the Champagne market, and at a recent tasting by top Sommeliers, only 9 versions were available. It used to be the sought after type in France a century ago. I hate Brut style (too sharp, acidic and vinegary). Demi Sec has a little sweetness added, but it is not a 'sweet wine' like Sauternes. My favourite was Mumm Cordon Vert tres riches, but it is no longer available in the UK. Sainsburys is a good inexpensive one to try. Makes a fine aperitif.

I bought Merciet Demi Sec Champagne for our wedding as my husband finds anything Brut too dry for him and once we tried this we knew it would be suitable for all palates, and would suit more people. I do know a lot of people who do not actually like champagne.

Personally I do not like Moet, and found this to be a refreshing change from the norm, and not a bad price at £25 per bottle. I still have one on my wine rack, amongst a couple of others, and know that if I wanted something for a special event, I would buy this again.
