Enjoy an evening at The Merret as we take you through a wonderful range of bubbles.
What's your dosage preference??
Brut, Demi-sec, or Brut Nature.... Confusing, RIGHT??
We got you covered, and fortunately, it’s all pretty simple. Essentially, dosage is some form of sweetness (sugar, or wine and sugar) added to a Champagne to balance it out. Grapes in the Champagne region have to struggle a bit to ripen, so they end up with less sugar to offer the wine, leaving many sparklings and Champagnes aggressively acidic. The dosage is a simple corrective measure, to either balance (nullify) too-intense acid or to actually impart some level of sweetness. And depending on the amount of dosage added, you’ll end up with a variety of sparklings, defined by terms that can be a bit confusing but are basically a scale from sweetest to driest.
Join us May 19th as we visit dry to sweet and a little in between!
