Explanation:
It looks like what they are making the vinager from is the lees of the wine. If I remember correctly, you have Termium, so don't know how much more help I can be, but Termium does have the following: English:Winemaking

dégorgement s CORRECT

DEF - The process for removing the deposit formed during the secondary fermentation. s
CONT - When the crown cap, or cork, is removed and the yeast deposit is ejected, the process is called disgorging, or "dégorgement". The bottle is quickly turned to an upright position. s

and here is an entry from LGDT: Domaine(s)

In the production of sparkling wines and meads, the removal of the residue of dead yeast cells which have accumulated on the side of the bottle and below the cork. (c)
