===== **Background information** =====

  * According to Allen Meadows: "bâtonnage is done in accordance with the characteristics of the vintage."
  * In vintage 2003: "One peculiarity of our approach in 2003 is the we did our first //bâtonnage// after the malos were complete."
  * The domaine was sold in Jan. 2017 to Stan Kroenke, real estate developer, son–in–law of the late Sam Walton (WalMart), & owner //inter alia// of the Screaming Eagle winery, Arsenal FC, & the LA Rams.

===== 2006 =====

  * **Corton Charlemagne** (August 2015): not oxidized, not bad at all [ER]
  * **Corton Charlemagne** (August 2015): not oxidized, still young [Adrian Latimer]
  * **Corton Charlemagne** (Feb-April 2018): 2 dead, 1 not [Adrian Latimer]
  * **Corton Charlemagne** (Oct. 2018 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Surprisingly pale straw color for a 12 year old wine. Pinpoint bouquet of orchard fruits & smokey citrus. Richer on the palate than most white Burgundies (especially for a Corton Charlemagne), but the superb acidity structure & mineral balance keeps the refreshment coming. From a lot of 3 purchased from a reputable West Coast retailer's auction platform in Aug. 2014. [Rayner Cheung]
