-  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jan. 2020 – ): 1 btl oxidized + 1 btl not oxidized. ​ The good btl had a subtle ​bouquet & tasted quite young & minerally. ​ ​Decanting would help.  ​From 3 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong in Sep. 2014. [Rayner Cheung]+  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jan. 2020 – May 2020): 1 btl oxidized + 2 btls not oxidized.

 +  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jun. 2020 – Feb. 2021): 3 btls not oxidized. Pale yellow gold color. Reticient nose only showing hints of citrus & popcorn. Youthfully lean on the palate. Best decanted. From 3 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong in Jun. 2015. [Rayner Cheung]

 +===== 2012 =====

 +  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Apr. 2021 – Aug. 2022): 2 btls not oxidized. Outstanding wine with thrilling nose & beautiful palate. A far cry from the unbalanced, insipid 2011'​s. ​ From 2 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2016. [Rayner Cheung]
 +  * **Meursault–Charmes** (Nov. 2021): 1 btl not oxidized. Lovely, but a little fatter than the Perrières. Purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2016. [Rayner Cheung]
 +  * **Meursault–Genèvrières** (Mar. 2022) 1 btl not oxidized. Lovely orchard fruits & orange blossom in the nose. More dry on the palate than the nose would have suggested, with the lush fruit beautifully balanced by mineral nuances. Purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2016. [Rayner Cheung]

 +  * **Meursault–Charmes** (Jan. 2023): 1 btl prematurely oxidized. Nose largely fine, but somewhat flat on the palate & tasting of dried peaches, getting worse with air. Purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa Feb. 2017. [Rayner Cheung]

 +===== 2015 =====
 +
 +  * **Meursault–Charmes** (Mar. 2023): 1 btl not oxidized. Fabulous wine, still quite youthful in color. Sensational mineralité in the nose overlaying strong hints of tropical fruit. Excellent weight & mouthfeel, with palpable tension between the mineral elements & the sumptuous fruit. Purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa Sep. 2018. [Rayner Cheung]
 +  * **Meursault–Genèvrières** (Aug. 2023 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Appropriately pale to medium gold. More taut than the Charmes & showing less fruit in the nose & on the palate at this stage. Probably better decanted. From 3 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa Oct. 2018. [Rayner Cheung]
