Diaeresis
editThe diaeresis (two dots on the 'e') does not exactly mean that the 't' has to be enunciated. It indicates that the 'e' has to be pronounced separately from 'ou', as the ending would (in French) otherwise end up silent. That the 't' is not silent is only by proxy- the diaeresis is for the 'e', not the 't'. I don't know how to word this in the actual article, but this should at some point be revised. Sources: [1] [2]

- I was about to say the same. It's complete nonsense to say that "the two dots on the e of Jouët mean that the next letter t should be pronounced". The "two dots" are a dieresis that indicates that the vowel 'e" is pronounced separately from the vowel "ou". "Jouët" is pronounced with a final t sound because that's how it's pronounced. But it has nothing to do with the dieresis. Unfortunately it's footnoted nonsense, so it will stay in the article until someone finds a better reference or the champagne house stops spreading this nonsense. . - Nunh-huh 14:31, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
