Lots of this makes sense - stable temperature, lack of UV, etc. some of it OTOH smacks of cryo-treated platinum tipped HDMI cables amongst audiophiles:
“As the tides move the natural sediment in the bottle, the flavour notes of the wine deepen. The effect is particularly enthralling with sparkling wine, as the changing tides refine the carbon dioxide bubbles to a crisp finish”

- jadavies 8y agoAgreed although there are probably easier ways to achieve stable temperatures, e.g. a cellar. The rest is definitely marketing hype. For remuage the sparkling wine bottles are slowly tipped from horizontal to vertical so that the sediment gathers at the cork end. The sediment can then be removed and the bottle recorked. There should be very little or no sediment in wine that's for sale.
