About Brut

Brut is the most widely recognised style of Champagne and sparkling wine, defined by its relatively dry level of sweetness. The term refers to the amount of sugar present after dosage, with Brut wines typically balancing crisp acidity with a small amount of residual sweetness to create a fresh, versatile style.

Brut Champagne can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier or a blend of the three, with flavour ranging from citrus, green apple and white flowers to brioche, toast and orchard fruit depending on the producer and ageing. It is the standard style for many Champagne houses and is commonly released as a Non-Vintage blend.

Under Champagne regulations, Brut contains less sugar than Extra Dry or Sec styles, but more than Extra Brut and Brut Nature. Its balance of freshness and softness makes it one of the most versatile Champagne styles, suitable for drinking on its own or alongside a wide range of foods.
