Patrick Javillier switched to a pneumatic press with the 2010 vintage, and he believes the change is already paying off in wines of greater elegance and complexity. He told me he was concerned that, in earlier vintages, keeping too much of the lees caused problems with the malolactic fermentations. Javillier is high on the 2010 vintage. "There's more flesh in Meursault than there was in 2008," he explained. "Some cuvees remind me of the 1990s." Javillier bottled all of his 2009s between November of 2010 and January of 2011. They spent a bit less time on their lees than normal "because they were already rich enough." But the wines also have sound pHs and good tartaric acidity, he added.
