For Aging en Tirage we have a term and definition in Champagne.

Aging En Tirage (Champagne)

Aging a sparkling wine during production "on the yeast," i.e., to delay the disgorging for many months (even years for the finest sparkling wines or champagnes). Aging en Tirage allows the superb flavor of autolyzed yeast to develop in the wine. The French call this highly prized flavor "gout de champagne." Although this is an expensive process, there isn't any other way to achieve that flavor. Richard Grant Wrotham Pinot is aged en tirage for at least three years.
