The other day I was just going through my cache of wine and was thinking about the next time I will get a chance to taste the delicious Bruno Paillard Brut Champagne again when I noticed on the back label there was a date printed on it.
Now since this is not a vintage Champagne I thought that this must be the date the wine wine bottled but investigating this a bit deeper from the Bruno Paillard website I learnt that this is actually the degorgement date!
What is degorgement?
Taken from the Bruno Paillard site, I learnt that it is: “When the bottle is lying in a vertical position – head first – the deposit is therefore concentrated against the cork,
just a few millimetres thick. It can now be removed – a process called disgorgement.”
