Billecart-Salmon Demi-Sec Champagne: Bubbles of Distinction

Natalie Ford — Solid champagne, does the job

7/10

Picked this up for New Year's and it was a hit with everyone. Nice peachy nose when you pour it and those tiny bubbles look great in the glass. The lemon curd sweetness is quite moreish. Not the most complex champagne I've had but at this price point it's decent.

Idris Ibrahim — Nice but steep for demi-sec

6/10

Look, it's a perfectly nice champagne. The peach and lemon curd flavours are there and the finish is long. But nearly £57 for a demi-sec? I've had brut champagnes at this price that impressed me more. If you like sweeter styles it's solid, just felt a bit pricey for what it is.

James Okafor — Converted me to demi-sec

8/10

I normally go for brut everything but had this at a friend's dinner party and honestly loved it. You get bread and almonds and citrus all at once and it somehow just works. Not sickly sweet like I expected — actually really elegant. Went straight out and bought a bottle the next day.
