Tasting Notes
Appearance: Medium straw gold with somewhat shy medium bubbles.
Aroma/bouquet: Pineapple, lemon, pear, honey, yeast. Sweetness and minerality on the nose.
Palate: Tropical fruit, apple, coconut. Nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
Additional comments: Pleasant. Would make a nice accompaniment to Thai and spicy Chinese food. Somewhat light for a demi-sec. Serve very chilled. If you don't like some residual sugar, this is probably not for you.
When to drink: Laurent-Perrier Demi-Sec Champagne is ready to drink at release.
