Doux

(du:)
DEFINITION

Doux

Doux is the French term for “sweet”, representing the highest and sweetest classification level in French wine (>50 g/L residual sugar). It is often used to describe Champagne and sparkling wines which are luscious and rare, reserved to be paired with pastries, rich desserts, or enjoyed on their own as desserts.

Did you know? Vin Doux Naturel translates to "naturally sweet wine", but it is actually a fortified wine.
