'C'est Secré!' Sec Champagne

Organic & Biodynamic

We can't hasten the return of quality Champagne Sec fast enough. A foregone vogue for honey'd, full flavoured, indulgent aperitif Champagnes is on the ascendent again thanks to cuvées like Lelarge-Pugeot's irreverently named C'est Sucré! (for the hopeless anglophones, that means 'It's Sweet!'). Our team celebrated our Christmas dinner with this bubbly and we couldn't have chosen better. A perfect departure point for a special afternoon or a pre-dinner aperitif, this jubilant wine is perfectly balanced and unabashedly saccharine without a hint of cloying over-dosage. It's a forsaken style we're psyched to participate in reappraising and celebrating when it is done this well. Notes of panettone, baklava, spiced apple, and apricot with a hint of crème fraîche and white lily.
