What is Extra Brut Champagne?
Extra Brut Champagne is characterized by its exceptionally low sugar content, usually less than 6 grams per liter. This style allows the natural acidity and flavors of the grapes to shine through, creating a crisp, bone-dry, and refreshing Champagne. Extra Brut Champagne is often favored by those who appreciate a pure and unadulterated expression of the wine, showcasing the terroir and the craftsmanship of the producer. Extra Brut Champagne is made using the traditional method, also known as the méthode champenoise. This method involves a secondary fermentation that takes place in the bottle, creating the characteristic bubbles. After the primary fermentation, a mixture of yeast and sugar, known as the liqueur de tirage, is added to the base wine, triggering the second fermentation. The wine is then aged on its lees (yeast sediments) for an extended period, contributing to its complexity and texture. Extra Brut Champagne offers a distinct flavor profile characterized by its vibrant acidity, crispness, and purity. It typically exhibits citrus notes, such as lemon, grapefruit, or green apple, along with mineral undertones. The absence of significant residual sugar allows the fruit flavors and acidity to shine, resulting in a refreshing and focused Champagne. Extra Brut Champagne can age well, developing additional complexity and depth over time. While it is enjoyable when consumed young to appreciate its vibrant freshness, some Extra Brut Champagnes can benefit from further aging. The aging process allows the wine to develop more tertiary aromas, such as toasted bread, nuts, and honey, while maintaining its characteristic acidity.What to Pair with Extra Brut Champagne
