Stirring: history, techniques and future challenges in the face of climate change
Fabrice Wehrung talks about his field experience and the problems of remuage in Champagne. Global warming complicates remuage with maturity and protein problems. Consumers demand fresher, less processed and less alcoholic wines. A consistent and compact deposit is essential to obtain a clear wine. The consistency of the medium, the chemistry and the geometry of the deposit are important. Specific analyses and remuage tests are necessary to optimize the program. The use of plant adjuvants can allow shorter remunerations and improve the quality of the wine.
