Note 328 — PART I. (continued 3)
Reading edition
Chabane appears to have been fully cognisant of the method of collage and soutirage (fining and racking) practised in the Champagne; and Bertin, in one of his letters dated July 1752, mentions the enclosure of a receipt for a kind of collage, by following which all necessity to dépoter the bottles is obviated. This enclosure is unfortunately lost.
