Sec Champagne offers a charming balance of sweetness and sparkle, sitting sweeter than Brut and Extra Dry in the Champagne sweetness scale. With between 17 and 32 grams of sugar per litre, Sec (meaning 'dry' in French, though it's a sweeter style by current Champagne standards) presents a lush, approachable profile that's perfect for those who enjoy a richer, fruit-forward glass of bubbles. Crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise, Sec Champagne maintains the elegance, fine bubbles, and structure that define all true Champagne, while adding a soft, rounded sweetness that enhances its versatility.
On the palate, Sec Champagne reveals flavours of ripe stone fruits, honeyed citrus, poached pear, and delicate floral notes, balanced by fresh acidity and creamy texture. It's a fantastic choice for pairing with lightly spiced Asian cuisine, foie gras, or fruity desserts, and also serves beautifully as a celebratory pour for those who prefer a softer style. Often overlooked in favour of the drier Bruts, Sec Champagne is an underappreciated gem, perfect for those seeking a sweeter yet sophisticated sparkling wine experience that still carries the prestige and finesse of the Champagne name.
