Brood

"Brut" is a term used in the context of sparkling wine, champagne , and other sparkling wines to indicate the sugar content in the final product. This value is called dosage and refers to the addition of sugar and sometimes (residually sweet) wine after the lees are removed during disgorging. The term "brut" refers to a dry to medium-dry sparkling wine with a low residual sugar content. Here are the common dosage values ​​and their meanings:

  • Brut Nature, Pas Dosé, Zero Dosage, Brut Integral, Ultra Brut: 0-3 g/l (absolutely dry)
  • Extra Brut: 0-6 g/l (very dry)
  • Brood: 0-15 g/l (dry)
  • Extra Dry, Extra Sec: 12-20 g/l (rather semi-dry)
  • Sec: 17-35 g/l (semi-dry)
  • Demi Sec: 35-50 g/l (sweet)

These values ​​indicate how much residual sugar remains in the wine per liter. "Brut" is the most common term for dry to medium-dry sparkling wines. The lower the dosage value, the drier the wine. This classification helps consumers choose the desired taste style of sparkling wine, from bone-dry to sweet.
