It causes a second alcoholic fermentation which releases carbonic gas that produces bubbles. Bottles are then placed on racks, tilted down. Then they are the object of regular, manual or mechanical operations: the bottles are regularly turned so that the fermented sediment collects in the bottle neck. The final step, corking, takes place after disgorgement (elimination of the sediment and impurities) and the addition of the liqueur d'expédition.
