Useful conceptual comparison for target-based whiskey trials, not evidence that yeast autolysis or dosage chemistry occurs in finished whiskey. Legal minimum ageing versus lees contact, sugar bands, rose blending stage and asserted Maillard effects are unverified source claims. No home bottle-fermentation instructions. September 28 audit: Comité Champagne distinguishes the 15-month minimum total maturation from at least 12 months on lees for non-vintage Champagne; brut contains less than 12 g/L sugar. The source's aging and sugar shorthand should be corrected when used. https://www.champagne.fr/system/files/2022-11/brochure_civc_2020_en_bd.pdf ; https://www.champagne.fr/en/about-champagne/how-champagne-is-made/dosage

Full-source second-edition wine/blind-tasting review; supplied PDF positions, not printed pagination.

Champagne base wines from different parcels and reserve vintages are assessed and blended for balance, complexity and house style. The author argues that variable inputs prevent a universal fixed recipe. Subsequent lees ageing, dosage and rest are distinct stages, and dosage is selected in relation to acidity and the intended style.

A stable house style can require changing the blend across vintages
