+ | ===== Background Information ===== | ||
+ | * In vintage 2002: "The ‘02s are very rich and thus I did less //bâtonnage// compared to the ‘01s because I was afraid they might become top heavy." | ||
+ | * In vintage 2003: almost no batonnage; domaine admits picking "too late" | ||
+ | * In vintage 2004: picked late; domaine says that some lots suffered from an unusual bacterial problem--bacteria that cause an oily, ropy, filament-like appearance and texture. | ||
+ | * In vintage 2005: according to Tanzer, Fichet "moves the lees without aerating them, making a point not to lose any gas." Presumably this means that like Drouhin and some others he rolls the barrels rather than stirs the lees. | ||
+ | * In vintage 2010: (per Burghound): bottles with 30 to 32 ppm free SO2 | ||
