Champagne Dosage and Sweetness Guide

Champagne sweetness reflects dosage added after disgorgement plus residual sugar already present in the wine.

Sparkling wine and Champagne

These terms describe total sugar in the finished sparkling wine. Brut Nature also requires that no sugar be added after the secondary fermentation.
