Voici une image de M. Ray Walker (mon interne semblable) démontrant la technique bourguignonne du battonage.Well my French may be a little rusty so please excuse any errors but I am trying to say this is a picture of my fellow intern, Ray Walker, demonstrating the burgundian technique of "battonage." Battonage is the stirring of the lees in barrel. While we are fermenting the chardonnay in barrels, yeast sediments collect at the bottom. Battonage involves stirring up these lees with a stainless steel rod inserted through the barrel's bung hole. This stirring of the lees can add to the texture of the wine by adding a creamy or rich nutty note without affecting the wine's acidity. Stirring up the yeast lees also helps to protect the wine because they help to eliminate unwanted oxygen.

What an experience. Thanks for all of your posts, and WOW is it complicated. By the way, did your bro tell you that he was the big winner at the last "Joyce's Poker Palace" tourney. He smashed the juice out of 'em. He realizes that he would have finished 3rd though, had you and Katie been there. You do remember Poker, don't you.
Yeah, my game is a little rusty! I don't think I want to play the Dent Guy right now - he's too hot.
Hey Matt, huh huh, he said bung hole, huh huh. Steve K.
