Brut Nature or Sans Dosage refers to which level of dosage?

Explanation:
In sparkling wine production, dosage is the sugar solution added after disgorging to adjust sweetness. Brut Nature or Sans Dosage means no sugar is added, giving a bone-dry wine with essentially 0 g/L residual sugar (often just a trace depending on producer). This is the driest level. By contrast, Extra Brut uses a small amount of sugar, Brut uses a bit more, and Demi-Sec is noticeably sweeter.
