| - | * **Chassagne–Montrachet “Les Vergers”** (Jul. 2020 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Youthful color of pale gold. Ripe orchard fruits & citrus blossom in the nose. Richly textured & delicious. Quite a bit more exotic & less obviously mineral than usual. Decanting recommended. From a half case purchased in 2012 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung] | + | * **Chassagne–Montrachet “Les Vergers”** (Jul. 2020 – Oct. 2021): 5 btls not oxidized + 1 advanced. The good btls have a youthful color of pale gold. A contest between exotic, ripe orchard fruits, citrus blossom, & mineralité in the nose & on the palate. Richly textured & delicious. Decanting recommended. The advanced btl (Apr. 2021) was a first for us from this domaine. From a half case purchased in 2012 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung] |

| + | * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Les Vergers"** (Apr. 2021 – Apr. 2023): 6 btls not oxidized. The first btl appeared to be somewhat darker in color than the other 5, but was perfectly fine & served decanted. Classic Bruno style of Les Vergers, very mineral & taut, with just a little muskiness in the nose. Decanting definitely helps. From a half case purchased in 2013 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung] | ||

Citrus & a hint of orchard fruits on the palate. Exceptionally well–balanced & delicious. From 7 btls purchased in 2013 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.
