Have you ever wondered what the term « Brut » really means?
It's far more than a simple label: it's the signature of balance.
What exactly is it?
The term Brut refers to the dosage, meaning the amount of sugar added just before the bottle is corked.
To be classified as Brut, champagne must contain less than 12 grams of sugar per litre.
Extra-Brut, a wine that doesn't cheat.
A wine where every bubble expresses the vibrancy of the Champagne terroir, without artifice.
The technical sheet
Why choose Extra-Brut?
You don't choose an Extra-Brut by chance. You seek it for its verticality. As it contains very little sugar, it leaves all the room for the minerality of the soil (chalk) and the freshness of the grapes.
It's a straight wine that offers a very clear, almost saline tasting experience.
Brut Nature champagne, just as it leaves the cellar, tel qu'il sort de la cave.
Forget everything you know about the sweetness of champagne. Brut Nature is the purest and most honest expression of the wine.
What makes it different?
Unlike other categories, the winemaker adds absolutely no sugar during the final disgorgement stage.
It's a high-wire act for the producer. Without sugar to mask imperfections, the wine must be flawless.
A Brut Nature is only made when the harvest is perfect and the grapes are ideally ripe.
