Some Champagne History...
The "pupitre" was invented by the Clicquot family in the early
19th century. It was designed to improve the process of removing the
sediment, caused by secondary fermentation, from the bottle.
Champagne cellars had large numbers of these racks, and the
cellarman would turn each bottle, every day, until the sediment
settled on the cork, allowing it to be removed. This process, known
as "remuage" took up to 3 months, with a cellarman turning up to
30,000 bottles a day!!
It took until the end of the 20th Century for this, simple and
effective design, to be replaced by new technology. Their place is
now taken by metal mechanical bins that can complete the whole
process in about a week.
