The beating heart of the Champagne tradition
Brut Champagne represents the heart and soul of the region's production, perfectly embodying the stylistic balance that has made these bubbles famous throughout the world. With a dosage of between 6 and 12 grams of sugar per litre, Brut is the benchmark for Champagne expression, where freshness and acidity are harmoniously balanced with a slight softness that enhances its pleasantness without compromising its elegance. This category, which accounts for over 80% of total production, established itself at the end of the 19th century when international tastes shifted towards drier styles than the sweet Champagnes of the Victorian era, gradually becoming the very symbol of French excellence and savoir-faire.
A sensory profile of impeccable harmony
The organoleptic character of Brut Champagnes is distinguished by a magnificent balance between acidity and roundness, offering a complete and satisfying sensory experience. On the nose, these wines have an articulate bouquet that combines fruity notes of green apple, pear and citrus with floral hints of hawthorn and jasmine, enriched by nuances of brioche, butter and dried fruit derived from ageing on the lees. On the palate, the calibrated dosage allows you to appreciate the freshness and minerality typical of Champagne, while softening the more acidic contours and enhancing the creaminess of the mousse. The fine and persistent perlage contributes to the sensation of elegance, supporting a finish where the fruity notes gradually give way to more complex and mineral hints.
