Term for the person in charge in a Champagne house who is responsible for the important function of blending, the assemblage. The assemblage is the secret of every Champagne house and it takes a long experience to be able to perform this highly paid function. A detailed description of sparkling wine production with all the obligatory and optional processing steps can be found under the heading Champagne.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
