The complexity found in this wine is a result of extended
time on the yeast and in the bottle. Aging "en tirage" allows a superb flavor
known as "goût de champagne" to develop in the
wine. Although this is a labor intensive and therefore expensive process, it is
the only means of achieving this flavor. After aging "en tirage" is complete,
the wine is disgorged. This process involves removing the frozen yeast sediment
from the neck of the bottle.
