Disgorgement: the final touch in Champagne 🍾
After several years ageing on lees, comes a key moment: disgorgement.
👉 Its purpose? To remove the natural sediment formed in the bottle.
In practice, the neck of the bottle is frozen to trap the lees. When opened, the pressure naturally expels this deposit in just a few seconds.
A quick step, yet essential: it reveals the wine’s purity and clarity ✨
A small amount of dosage liqueur is then added to define the style (Brut, Extra Brut…), and the Champagne is ready to be enjoyed.
A precise gesture… serving balance and expression.
