HOW CHAMPAGNE IS MADE

A COMPLETELY SERIOUS GUIDE

FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN’T.

01 / PICK THE GRAPES

By hand. Carefully. We’re making Champagne, not fruit salad.

02 / PRESS THEM

Gently. Keep the juice clean and save the drama for later.

03 / FERMENT

Grape juice becomes a sharp, still base wine.

No bubbles yet. Calm down.

04 / BLEND

Grapes, plots, villages and sometimes different years.

Part science. Part instinct. Part arguing politely in French.

05 / TIRAGE

Bottle the wine with yeast and sugar.

The yeast eats the sugar, creates a little more alcohol and farts CO₂.

The bottle traps it. Congratulations: bubbles.

06 / WAIT

Age it on dead yeast—called “lees” because “dead yeast” apparently wasn’t luxurious enough.

At least 15 months. Three years for vintage.

Good things take time. Expensive things take longer.

07 / RIDDLE

Turn and tilt the bottles until the sediment moves into the neck.

Basically bottle yoga, but with an actual purpose.

08 / DISGORGE

Freeze the neck and violently eject the sediment under pressure.

Beautiful. Precise. Slightly aggressive. Just how we like it.

09 / DOSAGE

Top it up with wine and, depending on the style, a little sugar.

Brut Nature if you like it brutally honest.

Demi-Sec if you need emotional support.

10 / FINISH

Cork it. Cage it. Label it. Chill it.

11 / DRINK IT

Preferably before some idiot says:

“Let’s save it for a special occasion.”
