It was great to be at disgorgement earlier this week for the PROMISE 2022 vintage base. The disgorgement process is a key part of the centuries-old Méthode Champenoise, but has been modernized over time. In summary, we freeze the top of the bottle (which has been resting on lees for over three years), then the cap is removed, (also removing the lees/sediment), then dosage is added, and wine is topped off. Then it moves on to receive the cork and cage, and ever so gently turned upside down to integrate. Finally, it is sent through the bottle wash station and fan dried. (No one wants to receive a sticky bottle of Champagne!) But what you WILL be getting is a gorgeous, fresh, and incredible expression of Blanc de Blanc! Members will be receiving their allocation at the end of this year.
