 +===== 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
