| - | * **Chablis "La Forest"** (Mar. 2021 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Best decanted. This is a powerful wine that's worthy of the 2010, but is even more closed (as of 2021). From a lot of 2 lots of 6 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 taster 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 further lot of 6 from the same platform in May 2016.

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.

| + | * **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] | ||
