On the pronounciation of “Brut” It is definitvely not “Broot”. but I am helpless on where to begin on how to phonetically help in saying it correctly. The T has to be silent, and the U should not sound as if there is an O in it (ie) Bouche is mouth in French, and that can be said as if it was writen as Boosh, but in ” Buche de noel” you have to pucker your lips in such a way, that there is no rounded OO sound
Pierre,
You are right, the French pronounciation of “brut” is not “broot” – but that is the Americanized version of a very dry sparkling wine. Here is an audio of the French pronounciation for “brut” link: http://www.forvo.com/word/brut/
