Question 1

What is an Extra-Brut champagne?

Accepted Answer

Extra-Brut champagne is an ultra-dry style with only a minimal amount of sugar added after disgorgement, between 0 and 6 grams of residual sugar per liter. This tiny dosage keeps the wine crisp and vibrant while softening the sharpest edges, resulting in a balanced yet bone-dry profile. Extra-Brut champagnes retain much of the grape’s natural expression and are favored by those who appreciate a clean, precise, and terroir-focused experience.

Question 2

What is the Traditional Method ?

Accepted Answer

Champagne is made using the Traditional Method (Méthode Champenoise), where a second fermentation takes place inside each bottle, creating its fine bubbles and deep flavors. The wine is then aged for a couple of years. This process takes time and care, but results in Champagne’s signature elegance. By contrast, wines like Prosecco use a faster method where the second fermentation happens in large steel tanks, producing lighter, fruitier bubbles at a lower cost.

Question 3

What is a good and affordable Champagne ?

Accepted Answer

Major Champagne houses maintain its luxury image through heavy investment in branding, which drive the prices up. Artisan Champagnes provide an interesting alternative to the premium branded Champagnes. They offer excellent quality at a more accessible price, often showcasing the distinctiveness of the individual vineyard or terroir.
