General Characteristics

• Clairbouteille P is a specific fining agent for the clarification of sparkling wine produced using the traditional (champenoise) method.
• The synergistic action of the different bentonites in the blend makes Clairbouteille P very effective and capable of reducing processing times for both manual and automatic riddling.
• Clairbouteille P prevents yeast adhesion to the bottle throughout wine aging during riddling and allow for lees to slide quickly towards the neck without leaving traces on the glass.
• Clairbouteille P is easy-to-use, does not interfere withyeast lysis and produces compact lees: thus, reducing the loss of wine at the dégorgement

Instructions For Use

Rehydrate Clairbouteille P in 30 parts chlorine-free water for 24 - 72 hours. Dilute again in 2 - 3 parts of water and add homogenously to the pied de cuve (starter). Keep Clairbouteille P in contact with yeast for at least 30 minutes. Then add the mixture of Clairbouteille P and yeast to the tirage tank while stirring. Continue stirring throughout bottling.

Warnings:

• Never add Clairbouteille P directly to the tirage tank.
• If using other tirage processing aids, add them before incorporating Clairbouteille P.

During Tirage, do not shake bottles before manual or automatic riddling. Sediment resuspension can break the flocs and make clarification difficult.
