Some of the traditional equipment used by previous generations is still in use today. Each press produces approximately 1,600 bottles. The grapes are collected around September time before being pressed in the very press that you see here. These photos are about 40 years old as you can see from the quality of the image, but the very same equipment is still used today to guarantee the traditions passed down from each generation are still intact. Now a seventh generation family business, the purest traditions have been respected to ensure that your Champagne gift is produced to the highest standards.
If you would like some more information about how Champagne is made, please visit our blog as we have a great number of articles on related topics to this. For example, here are a couple of links to interesting topics including the history of Champagne, the Champagne terroir, and the production of Champagne.
1. Grape harvest and cultivation
When November comes along, that is the traditional time for the pre-pruning to take place once the leaves have fallen, this helps prepare the vine for the winter. During the winter months the wine will typically go into a form of hibernation, and at this point looks nothing like you would imagine the vines for Champagne production would look.
The arrival of spring heralds the beginning of the seasonal growth and this is where we see the ‘budburst’. The first thing is to remove any buds that don’t bear fruit otherwise this will be to the detriment of the end result of your great bottle of bubbly. From here the vine concentrates the sap on the main buds. when June comes along we see ‘palissage’, here the shoots are separated and they are held in place as they are stapled to the wires.
2. Settling and Pressing
The grapes are recorded and weighed once they arrive at the pressing centre. Each “marc” is recorded in the relevant pressing logbook, which will also contain information relating to the grape variety and cru of your bottle of bubbly. This logbook can either be retained or sold to the Champagne house. Testing will also take place on the grapes in order to check for compliance in relation to the alcohol content for the vintage in question.
The “débourbage” process then follows where we see the settling of the juices taking place. Here the clean juices are fermented which produces wine and the flavours that you find in your bottle of Champagne start to come through.

4. Blending
The head of the process will also blend various wines in order to get the required characteristics for your bottle of Champagne. The blending is important as this is what gives your Champagne present shipment the character it requires, each Champagne house will have it’s own way of doing this.
Once the blending is complete, cold is used to stabilise and perfect the fine Champagne. Clarification then takes places to remove any impurities to ensure your Champagne bottle is to the highest standards.
5. Second fermentation
When the bottling process is taking place, at this point the winemaker will add extra sugar or ‘liqueur de tirage’ to the Champagne present shipment. This begins the process of the second fermentation of the Champagne in the bottle and will typically last around 8 weeks.
6. Riddling and Ageing
When the Champagne bottles are full, they will typically be kept in the cellars in a constant and cool temperature for at least 15 months before they are ready to be sold.
At around 8 months into the process, the sugar is transformed into alcohol by the yeast and also carbonation. This bubbly mousse that is produced dissolves into the wine and makes the Champagne that you know today. The yeast will then die, and a deposit is formed on the walls of the bottle that the winemaker is required to remove.
A riddling rack is the next process for your Champagne, and this is also known as a pupitre. The bottles are rotated by 1/8th of a turn each time and the bottle gradually moves into a vertical position. Your Champagne present shipment undergoes this process for anything between 2 weeks up to 3 months.
