-  * **Chablis "Les Clos"​** (Sep. 2018 – ): 2 btls oxidized + 1 btl not oxidized. The color, nose, & palate ​of the good btl all suggested a young, concentrated ​wine that is perhaps 1 – 2 years from reaching ​its plateau of maturity. From a lot of 6 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Apr. 2016. [Rayner Cheung]+  * **Chablis "Les Clos"​** (Sep. 2018 – Jul. 2021): 2 btls oxidized + 4 btls not oxidized. The good btls were brilliant, slightly understated,​ but glorious examples of top notch grand cru Chablis. Their youthful green color, ​fresh nose, & sensational ​palate all suggested a wine that is nearing ​its plateau of maturity ​with at least 4 years of life ahead. From a lot of 6 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Apr. 2016. [Rayner Cheung] 
 +  * **Chablis "Les Clos"​** (Sep. 2014–Feb 2020): I purchased 36 bottles of this and have 2 bottles remaining. Six had the US Vineyard Brands labels (3-4 mos less barrel aging). Six had the Dauvissat-Camus labels (US version). The rest had French tax capsules. Over the last five years I have had one bottle which was oxidized and all of the rest were quite sound. This is really remarkable in comparison with my past experience with Dauvissat and the 2008 and 2009 Clos, where even my initial bottles were oxidized. [Don Cornwell].

   * **Chablis Clos** (Feb 2014): Vincent Dauvissat label. Colour a little advanced, fino sherry and walnuts beginning to go rancid on the nose. Palate disjointed and not very pleasant.

 +  * **Chablis "Les Clos"​** (Apr. 2023 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Best decanted. A wine of the vintage & relatively lean in style, similar to the La Forest. Purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Sep. 2015. [Rayner Cheung]
 +  * **Chablis "La Forest"​** (Mar. 2021 – ): 9 btls not oxidized. Best decanted. This is a powerful wine that's worthy of the 2010, but is even more closed (as of 2021). Drinking beautifully in May 2022, growing magnificently in the glass. Nearing its peak in Aug. 2023. From 2 lots of 6 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Dec. 2015. [Rayner Cheung]

 +  * **Chablis "​Séchet"​** (Dec. 2021 – Mar. 2022): 2 btls not oxidized. Gorgeous perfume of gardenia, citrus blossom, & orchard fruit. Decanting optional. A little lighter than the "La Forest",​ but with air this gains weight & pleasurability. From a lot of 2 purchased in Sep. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer.

 +  * **Chablis "​Vaillons"​** (Jul. 2021 – Jan. 2022): 2 btls oxidized or advanced + 4 btls not oxidized. Dauvissat–Camus label. 3 of the good btls were delicate & elegant. From a lot of 6 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Dec. 2014. [Rayner Cheung]
 +  * **Chablis "​Vaillons"​** (Jan. – Jul. 2022): 2 btls not oxidized. Appropriate pale gold color. Muskiness in the nose that goes away with decanting, revealing fruit stones & a hint of white flowers. Elegant & flavorful into the finish but, as with all the 1er crus in this vintage, a bit too dry. Vincent Dauvissat label. From a lot of 2 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Sep. 2015. [Rayner Cheung]
