Dry (brut means dry).

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
As of what I have now just read: The cuvee is the 'turning into wine' and the 'brut' is the sweetness.
It is a sweetness designator in dry sparkling wines wit Brut meaning less than 12 grams of sugar per liter, Extra Brut having less than 6 grams of sugar per liter and Brut Natural or Brut Zero indicating 3 grams of sugar per liter. If you need a quick sugar fix order Doux or Dulce with 50 grams or more of sugar per liter.

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.
"Brut" is a term used to describe the sweetness level of Champagne, specifically indicating that the wine is dry. In the context of Champagne, brut wines typically contain less than 12 grams of residual sugar per liter, making them less sweet than other styles like "demi-sec" or "sec." The term originates from the French word for "raw" or "unrefined," reflecting the minimal intervention in the winemaking process and the emphasis on the wine's natural characteristics.
Sonoma wine county is located is a short drive North of the Golden Gate Bridge in California.
Sire de Beaupre Brut is termed as being a mousseux. Mousseux is a French term used for sparkling wine. This being said, the wine is a sparkling wine from France but, not from the Champagne region so technically is not a Champagne. Where specifically in France the wine is from I'm not quite sure.
Sonoma Valley is a famous wine growing area. It is located in Sonoma County, California.
