From Vine to wine
This is the last stage before the bottle leaves the Champagne cellars and is released for shipment.
The cork and wire cage are wrapped in foil (the ‘coiffe’), which extends down the neck of the bottle to the ‘collerette’ (neck band fitted on most Champagne bottles).
A label is placed on the front of the bottle, and sometimes on the back too, stating specific mandatory items along with other consumer information.
