Definition
A moderately sweet style, particularly in sparkling wine.
Im Detail
Demi-sec ('half-dry') contains 32-50 g/L of residual sugar in Champagne. Despite the name, it tastes noticeably sweet. Demi-sec Champagne pairs beautifully with desserts, foie gras, and spicy Asian cuisine. Moelleux is the Loire equivalent for still whites. The category is underappreciated — sweetness balanced by acidity creates stunning food matches.
