Brut champagne is a type of sparkling wine that is dry and has low sugar content, while Blanc de Blanc champagne is made exclusively from white Chardonnay grapes. The key difference lies in the grape variety used in production, with Brut being a general term for dry champagne and Blanc de Blanc specifically made from white grapes.
Blanc de blanc sparkling wines are made exclusively from white grapes, typically Chardonnay, while brut sparkling wines can be made from a blend of white and red grapes. Blanc de blancs tend to be lighter and more delicate in flavor, with notes of citrus and green apple, while brut wines are drier and more robust, with a broader range of flavors.
Cava is the Spanish equivalent of Champagne. Only French sparkling wine from the Champagne region is allowed to use that name. Brut is a measurement of the sugar level. i.e. Brut=dry, Demi Sec=Medium, Sec=Sweet
Some popular sweet brut champagne options available in the market include Mot Chandon Imprial Brut, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut, and Dom Prignon Brut.
Brut
Natural is the driest champagne you can get. Brut is sweeter yet still very dry, drier than "Extra Dry" or "Dry" champagne. Ironically, "Dry" or "Sec" champagne is usually the sweetest you will find in most grocery stores.
Laurent Perrier produces many kinds of champagne. The types of champagne produced includes the Alexandria, the Brut, the Ultra Brut and the Millesime to name a few.

The main difference between Brut and Spumante lies in sweetness and style. Brut is a dry sparkling wine with very little sugar (less than 12g/L), offering crisp, clean flavors. Spumante, an Italian term meaning “sparkling,” can range from dry to sweet, but is often associated with sweeter styles like Asti Spumante. While Brut focuses on dryness and acidity, Spumante emphasizes fruitiness and softness. Both are bubbly, but suit different palates and occasions.
Spumante and brut sparkling wines differ in their sweetness levels. Spumante is sweeter, while brut is drier. This is due to the amount of residual sugar in the wine.
Champagne does not expire. It actually gets better with age, but up to a point.
