Introduction:
The NV R. Dumont & Fils Cuvée Dolce Demi-Sec is a beautifully balanced Champagne that offers a touch of sweetness while maintaining freshness and elegance. This Demi-Sec style provides a richer, more rounded expression of Champagne, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a slightly sweeter yet still vibrant sparkling wine.
Terrior:
Sourced from the Côte des Bar in the southernmost part of Champagne, the vineyards are planted on Kimmeridgian limestone soils, similar to those in Chablis. This terroir contributes to the wine’s distinct minerality and crisp acidity, which balance the sweetness beautifully.
Appearance:
Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles, creating an elegant mousse.
Nose:
Expressive and inviting, with aromas of ripe pear, golden apple, and white peach, alongside floral notes of honeysuckle and acacia. Hints of brioche, honey, and citrus zest add depth.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and lively acidity. Flavors of baked apple, candied citrus, and stone fruit are complemented by subtle honeyed notes and a touch of almond. The residual sugar enhances the richness without overwhelming the freshness, keeping the wine well-balanced and energetic.
Finish:
Smooth and lingering, with a pleasant sweetness and a refreshing mineral lift that keeps the wine lively.
Overall Impression:
A refined and approachable Demi-Sec Champagne that offers both richness and vibrancy. Ideal as an aperitif for those who prefer a touch of sweetness, or paired with fruit-based desserts, foie gras, or spicy Asian cuisine.
