Frequently asked questions

Why does it get you drunk faster?

The carbon dioxide in the bubbles helps the alcohol pass more quickly into the bloodstream.

What does 'Brut' mean?

It is a classification indicating it is very dry, with fewer than 12 grams of sugar per liter.

Should it be drunk in a coupe glass?

A tulip glass is ideal, as it allows aromas to expand and retains bubbles better than vintage coupe glasses.
