The amount of wine lost is trivial and freezing attenuates the loss of gas.
We then add some dosing liqueur to top up the bottle.
The amount of liqueur
determines the type of wine : brut, dry, or medium dry. It is inserted by an automated machine.
The bottle finally receives its very last stopper,
a special cork one, whose width is twice that of the bottleneck.
The message
'Champagne' must be marked on the flat of the cork, as must be the vintage year
if there is one.
The very final steps concern labelling :
muzzle, foil cap, label... then it's stocked again before one day giving pleasure to your eyes and to your palate. |
