    Origin and history

    Brut Champagne, renowned for its dry taste, originates from the Champagne region in France, a tradition dating back to the 17th century. The term “brut” indicates a low sugar content, a style that gained popularity in the late 19th century as tastes shifted towards less sweet wines. This change was largely influenced by Perrier-Jouët’s decision in 1846 to drastically reduce sugar levels, appealing to international preferences, especially in Britain. Today, brut champagne is celebrated globally, embodying sophistication and festivity, and remains a staple of celebrations and significant occasions, adhering to strict production regulations to maintain its esteemed quality and heritage.

    Flavor profile

    Brut Champagne is celebrated for its crisp, dry profile, making it a favorite among sparkling wine enthusiasts. This category is characterized by its low sugar content, typically under 12 grams per liter, which allows the true essence of the Champagne to shine through. On the palate, Brut Champagne offers a complex blend of flavors, including green apple, pear, citrus, and sometimes subtle mineral notes, complemented by a delicate bouquet of white flowers and a hint of brioche from the yeast aging process. Its refreshing acidity and persistent fine bubbles make it an excellent choice for toasts, aperitifs, or pairing with a wide range of dishes.

    Brut and Extra Brut refer to the dryness levels of Champagne, indicating the amount of residual sugar left after fermentation. Extra Brut is drier than Brut, containing less residual sugar. Specifically, Extra Brut Champagne has between 0 to 6 grams of sugar per liter, making it very dry with minimal sweetness. Brut Champagne, on the other hand, contains a slightly higher amount of residual sugar, typically between 6 to 12 grams per liter. This makes Brut slightly less dry compared to Extra Brut, but still not sweet. The choice between the two often depends on personal preference for dryness in Champagne.

    Store brut champagne in a cool, dark place at a consistent temperature around 45-65°F (7-18°C). Keep the bottles horizontal to maintain cork moisture and prevent air from entering. Avoid vibrations and direct sunlight to preserve its quality and flavor.
