Brut describes the driest Champagne with the least residual sugar. The sweetness level of the sparkling wine is determined by the amount of sugar added after the second fermentation and aging period.
Sparkling wines and Champagnes are categorized as Brut, Extra Brut, Extra dry, Sec and Demi-sec depending on their sugar levels. Brut Champagne is sold without any residual sugar and these wines are referred to as Brut Natural and, unlike earlier Champagnes, it's dry and not sweet.
Champagne and sparkling wines are also categorized as "vintage" or "non-vintage" (NV on the label) meaning they either come from a single year or are a blend of several different years. The "vintage" Champagnes are typically pricier, as the non-vintage Champagne and sparkling wines make up the majority of the market. Read More...
