Taste profile: Extremely dry, razor-sharp acidity and mineral character. Very clean and natural taste, where the terroir of the champagne and the original flavor nuances of the grapes stand out clearly.

When to drink it? Best with oysters, shellfish, sushi or as an aperitif for those who like an ultra-dry taste experience.

Sugar content: 0-6 g/l

Taste profile: Very dry, but with a slightly more rounded character than Brut Nature. The taste is still fresh and mineral, with high acidity and finesse.

When to drink it? Perfect with lighter dishes like ceviche, carpaccio or salads with citrus and seafood.

Sugar content: Up to 12 g/l

Taste profile: Dry, but with a bit more balance and roundness. Brut is the most popular type of champagne, as it combines freshness with a light fruity sweetness. The taste often has notes of green apples, citrus fruits, white flowers and a slightly toasted character from the fermentation.

When to drink it? Ideal as an aperitif or with versatile dishes such as poultry, fish dishes, soft cheeses and even lightly spiced food.

Sugar content: 12-17 g/l

Flavor Profile: Despite the name, this type is not dry, but rather semi-dry. It has a slight sweetness that gives it a softer and more fruity profile, but still retains a fresh acidity.

When to drink it? Goes well with foie gras, Asian food with a bit of sweetness (like Thai or Vietnamese dishes) or mild cheeses.

Sugar content: 32-50 g/l

Taste profile: Distinctly sweet with a silky texture. The taste has notes of tropical fruits, candied citrus, honey and brioche. However, the acidity keeps it fresh and not overwhelmingly heavy.

When to drink it? Ideal with sweet desserts like crème brûlée, fruit tarts or nut-based cakes. Can also be an exciting contrast to strong cheeses like Roquefort.

Sugar content: Over 50 g/l

Taste profile: Very sweet, almost like a dessert wine. Has intense notes of honey, caramel, dried fruits and exotic spices.

When to drink it? Perfect as a dessert on its own or with the sweetest desserts like chocolate fondant, panna cotta or vanilla ice cream with caramel.
