Champagne Jean Laurent Demi-Sec

Champagne Jean Laurent Demi-Sec NV is a beautifully balanced, Pinot Noir-driven Champagne that delivers just the right touch of sweetness without losing freshness or precision. Made with remarkable care and aged on the lees for 20 months, it offers outstanding value for money and a style that works both as an elegant aperitif and a food-friendly Champagne. Rooted in centuries of family growing tradition in Celle-Sur-Ource, Jean Laurent has built a reputation for purity, detail, and authenticity.

Tasting Notes
Pale golden in the glass with a lively, refined mousse, this Demi-Sec opens with generous aromas of ripe orchard fruit, pear, red apple, and subtle floral notes, lifted by a gentle pastry-like complexity from lees ageing. The Pinot Noir core brings shape and substance, while the dosage is seamlessly integrated, giving the wine a soft, rounded impression rather than overt sweetness. On the palate, it is silky and fruit-forward, with flavors of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and a delicate honeyed edge balanced by Champagne’s signature freshness and minerality. The finish is long, clean, and pleasantly supple, making this a Demi-Sec with more finesse than most. It is drinking beautifully now, but will hold well for a few years as its texture and complexity continue to develop.

Production
Jean Laurent sources 100% Pinot Noir from the extra chalk-rich soils around Celle-Sur-Ource in the southern part of Champagne, where old vines, some over 60 years of age, lend depth and concentration. The estate is farmed organically, with practical sustainability measures such as solar power and rainwater reuse, reflecting Laurent’s hands-on approach and respect for the land. The wine is aged for 20 months on the lees to build texture, fine mousse, and aromatic detail before release.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Its balanced sweetness and fruity profile make it an excellent match for shellfish, sushi, and mildly spicy dishes, while it also works wonderfully as a welcome wine on its own. Decanting is not recommended; instead, pour directly from the bottle to preserve the bubbles and freshness.

Producer
Champagne Jean Laurent is a third-generation family producer based in the village of Celle-Sur-Ource, where the family has cultivated vines for centuries.
