An antique, double-sided riddling rack, or 'pupitre', originating from the Champagne district of France around the late 1800s. Constructed from industrial-strength, solid oak planks, this historically significant piece was essential for the traditional champagne production process developed by Madame Clicquot, used to store and incrementally turn bottles to remove sediment. It serves as a unique collector's item and a conversation starter about winemaking history and French ingenuity.
