Herve Jestin, oenologist and chief winemaker holding a bottle of champagne that he will disgorge manually. After removing the capsule cork a little of the wine pours out of the bottle. This wine is then replaced by the liqueur d'expedition and the bottle is then recorked. Drops of wine still in the air Champagne Duval Leroy, Vertus, Cotes des Blancs , Champagne, Marne, Ardennes, France |

Herve Jestin, oenologist and chief winemaker holding the cork after disgorging. The cork is usually a "standard" crown cap with a small plastic plug inside in the neck of the bottle. In this plastic plug the dead yeast cells are collected during the remuage (riddling). As you can see, there is not much yeast that needs to be removed Champagne Duval Leroy, Vertus, Cotes des Blancs , Champagne, Marne, Ardennes, France |

Herve Jestin, oenologist and chief winemaker holding a bottle that has gone through remuage (riddling) but where the neck has not yet been frozen for disgorgement. As you can see if you look closely there is not much yeast in the neck of the bottle - only a very small layer. Champagne Duval Leroy, Vertus, Cotes des Blancs , Champagne, Marne, Ardennes, France |

A bottle with a small scotched label saying EC meaning Essence de Cognac. This is
cognac of 70% strength (undiluted) that is used in small quantities to mix in the liqueur d'expedition (that is used to fill the bottle after disgorging). It is aged one year in barrel and has a wonderful
fresh and fruity aromatic character, much different from old cognacs that sometimes are over-oaked Champagne Duval Leroy, Vertus, Cotes des Blancs , Champagne, Marne, Ardennes, France , low light grainy grain |
