This process is called disgorgement . The bottles move along a bottling line which replaces the wine lost in the disgorgement process, inserts a cork, securely affixes the cork with a wire hood, and places capsules and labels on the bottles. D. Champagne Types As well as non-vintage, vintage and Cuvee de Prestige wines, several other types of champagne are produced. Blanc de Blanc wines are produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, and Blanc de Noir wines are produced exclusively from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. Rose champagnes are produced from cuvees which ferment with black grape skins for short periods of time.
Cremant wines are champagnes with one half the normal pressure, and are usually consumed with food.
All of these wines are marketed in a range of increasing sweetness identified as Nature, Brut, Extra Sec, Sec and Doux. The degree of sweetness is adjusted at the bottling stage by the addition of sugar syrup.
