Sweet Champagne is usually labeled Demi-Sec (noticeably sweet) or Doux (very sweet, dessert-level).

Key sweet Champagne types

  • Demi-Sec
    • Semi-sweet, with about 32–50 g of sugar per liter.
* Tastes lush and fruity, great with desserts or for people who “don’t like dry wine.”
  • Doux
    • The sweetest style, with more than 50 g of sugar per liter.
* Very rich and dessert-like, often sipped at the end of a meal or with very sweet dishes.

Labels to look for on the bottle

When you want something sweet, look for these words on the front label:

  • Demi-Sec – sweet, but still refreshing.
  • Doux – very sweet, “dessert in a glass.”

Avoid bottles labeled Brut , Extra Brut , or Brut Nature , because those are dry styles with very little sugar.
