Disgorgement

Disgorgement removes collected yeast sediment from a bottle of sparkling wine.

How it works

The deposit is first moved towards the neck. When the bottle is briefly opened, pressure pushes it out. This removes the sediment without transferring all the wine to another bottle.

How to use this when choosing

Undisgorged pét-nat can still contain yeast sediment. If you want less of it in your glass, let the bottle stand upright and pour gently.
