Which is the third driest level of champagne sweetness?

• A. Sans Dosage
• B. Extra Brut
• C. Brut
• D. Sec

Answer: (C)

Sweetness in champagne comes from the dosage, a sugar solution added after disgorgement and measured in grams of sugar per liter. From driest to sweetest, the standard order is Sans Dosage (0–3 g/L), Extra Brut (0–6 g/L), Brut (about 6–12 g/L), Sec (roughly 17–32 g/L), then the sweeter styles like Demi-Sec and Doux. The third driest level is Brut, since it follows Sans Dosage and Extra Brut in dryness and is drier than Sec.
