Which sequence correctly lists the seven Champagne dosage levels from driest to sweetest?

• A. Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Sec (Or Extra Dry), Sec (Dry), Demi-Sec, Doux
• B. Doux, Demi-Sec, Sec (Dry), Extra Sec, Brut, Extra Brut, Brut Nature
• C. Brut Nature, Brut, Extra Brut, Extra Sec (Or Extra Dry), Sec (Dry), Demi-Sec, Doux
• D. Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Sec (Or Extra Dry), Sec (Dry), Doux, Demi-Sec

Answer: (A)

In Champagne, sweetness is controlled by dosage—the tiny amount of sugar added after disgorgement. The driest styles use the least sugar, and sweetness increases as more dosage is added. The typical order from driest to sweetest is Brut Nature (zero dosage), Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Sec (Extra Dry), Sec, Demi-Sec, and Doux. Each step adds more sugar and is perceived as sweeter. The sequence that matches this progression is Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut, Extra Sec (Or Extra Dry), Sec (Dry), Demi-Sec, Doux. Other options either reverse the order or swap adjacent levels, which would contradict the increasing sugar content.
