Wines
1995
- Batard-Montrachet (13 & 15 Oct 2004): full blown gold color with toasty aromas; outstanding but going fast [Don Cornwell]
1996
- Montrachet (11 Mar 2010): tasted with Jacques Gagnard's daughter Claudine Blain-Gagnard and Jean-Marc Blain in Los Angeles (from a bottle I purchased at auction a few years ago). In a “pre-oxidative” state said Messr. Blain. It exhibited some prominent yeasty oatmeal notes which he said if we decanted or allowed it to stand in the glass for a while it would disappear, and most of the odors did disappear after about an hour. [Don Cornwell]
