What are the steps of the riddling session?

Riddling, also known as remuage, is the process of gradually turning and tilting bottles of sparkling wine to move sediment toward the neck. The steps typically include placing the bottles upside down in a riddling rack, turning them slightly each day—usually by a quarter turn—while gradually angling them more vertically over a few weeks. This process helps consolidate the sediment into the neck of the bottle for easier removal during disgorgement. Finally, the bottles are ready for disgorgement, where the sediment is expelled and the wine is sealed for final packaging.
