====== Background information ====== * **Vinification (of the Domaine Wines):** Grapes are hand harvested and pressed as whole berries. Fermentation occurs entirely in oak barrels, 30% of which are new. Aging lasts 12 months in oak followed by an additional 5 months in stainless steel prior to bottling. The complete wines are lightly fined and filtered. * In vintage 2003: less batonnage than usual * In vintage 2004: "did almost no //bâtonnage// at all" * In vintage 2006: Per Allen Meadows: "raised the at-bottling free SO2 levels to between 40 and 45 ppm." * In vintage 2007: Per Allen Meadows: free SO2 dialed back to 40 ppm ====== Wines ====== \\ ===== 1990 ===== * **Puligny Hameau de Blagny** (Aug 2005): not oxidised but tired [WK Choy] ===== 1994 ===== * **Montrachet** (05/ 2006): not oxidised ,very good [Martin Buttinger] ===== 1995 ===== * **Corton Charlemagne** (Nov 2005): not oxidised [WK Choy] * **Criots Batard Montrachet** (June 2014): Not oxidised [Gareth Miles] ===== 1996 ===== * **Meursault Charmes** (Jul 2004): (2 bottles) 1 oxidized, 1 badly corked [R DeAngelo] * **Puligny Folatieres** (Sept 2007): (2 bottles) oxidized [Peter Muto] * **Meursault Charmes** (Oct 2007) oxidized (R DeAngelo) * **Meursault Charmes** (Nov 07) oxidized (R DeAngelo) * Bienvenue Batard Montrachet (April 09) Badly oxidised (Kelly Walker) * **Corton Charlemagne** (April 2010) not oxidized (E.
