   * **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 "La Forest** (Mar. 2021): ​1 btl not oxidized. Best decanted. This is a powerful wine that's worthy of the 2010, but is more closed. From a lot of 2 purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Dec. 2015. [Rayner Cheung] +  ​* **Chablis "Les Clos"​** (Apr. 2023 – ): 2 btls not oxidized. Only 13% ABV. Decanting optional (after 2024). In Apr. 2023, relatively lean in style, similar to the La Forest. In Mar. 2024, this wine has put on quite a lot of weight & is utterly delicious. A concentrated perfume of white flowers, orchard fruits, & citrus pith welcomes the drinker with a firm handshake (cf. Tanzer: "​subtle resiny spices"​). On the palate, a beautiful balance has been struck between the richness of the fruit & a robust core of zesty acidity. ​ 1 btl purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Sep. 2015, & a half case more from the same source in May 2016. [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 "La Forest"​ ** OXIDIZED August 2023- 4 bottle lot 2 bottles OK. Poured light darkish color and turned to complete oxidation. (Suzanne Camhi) 
 +  * **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. [Rayner Cheung] 
 +  * **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]
