Jacques Busin: Tradition Demi Sec

Jacques Busin: Tradition Demi Sec

Tradition Demi Sec

Jacques Busin | Brut

The second and sweet part of the dual pancake experiment, classic style: with chocolate cream and powdered sugar.

In the glass alongside it, the Tradition Demi Sec, served slightly cooler in the somewhat narrower Champagne Performance glass. Through its high dosage it appears round and soft and paired perfectly with the sweet chocolate, a harmonious, dessert-like pairing.

The champagne alone is almost like a dessert. It becomes interesting in combination with an even sweeter dessert: the champagne's sweetness recedes into the background, its freshness comes more to the fore, while the nutty note from the dessert is picked up. Together they create a beautiful note of toast, almost roasted aromas, with a hint of caramel and a wonderful complement to the missing fruit note, since I unfortunately didn't have any fresh fruit on hand.

Tasting Notes

Round, soft champagne with high dosage that acts almost like a dessert. Shows notes of toast, roasted aromas and a hint of caramel.
