| + | * General: Uses Vaslin press and allows the must to oxidize (aka "hyperoxidation"), a controvesial technique. Ages the wine in oak barrels for 12 months and then, after racking, transfers the wine to cement vats for 3-5 months before bottling. | ||
| + | * In vintage 1996: admits batonage used, but frequency not disclosed. | ||
| + | * In vintage 2003: stirred the lees weekly until the ML fermentation started | ||
| + | * In vintage 2004: according to Stephen Tanzer in Issue 122, Javillier did much less batonnage in 2004 than in 2003; however in Issue 127 Tanzer quotes Javillier as stating that he did "a lot of batonnage" and left the wines on their lees much longer in 2004 | ||
| + | * In vintage 2005: no batch of wine received more than four lees stirrings | ||
