Champagne making

The production of champagne is a complex process that involves several key steps. The first step is the vinification of the champagne, where the grapes are pressed to extract the juice, which is then fermented. This fermented juice is then mixed with other ingredients, such as sugar and reserve wine, to produce the champagne base. The second stage is the aging of the champagne, which can last from several months to several years. It is during this time that the flavors and aromas of champagne develop and stabilize.

The third stage is the riddling of the champagne, which consists of turning the bottles regularly so that the solid deposits collect at the top of the bottle. This process also helps aerate the champagne and enhance its aromas and flavor. The fourth step is the disgorging of the champagne, where solid deposits are removed from the bottle.

The fifth and final step is corking the champagne, where the bottle is sealed with a cork stopper to prevent air from getting inside. This process definitively closes the production of champagne and allows its aromas and flavor to be preserved for many years.

Champagne making is a long and complex process that requires careful attention at every stage to ensure the quality of the final product. The stages of champagne, such as champagne vinification and champagne corking, are all crucial to obtaining a top quality champagne.
