What's The Definition of Remuage?

Remuage: (French) In sparkling wines, the process of separating residue from the wine. This is done by tilting the bottle at an increasingly acute angle throughout the process of bottle fermentation until it is almost vertical, concentrating the deposits in the neck of the bottle for removal at disgorgement. Also called "Riddling."
