Extra Dry is almost indistinguishable from its Brut; not noticeably sweet. But there is a somewhat soft quality that mars the finish.——P.G.(2/1/2012)—— 84

Confusingly, a sparkler labeled extra dry is actually extra sweet. It’s a French convention that probably should not have been carried over into American labeling, for it simply muddies the water. This is not terribly sweet or sugary, and has a distinctive, lime-flavored citrus streak. ——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 87
