-  * **Meursault–Charmes** (Sep. 2017 – ): 2 btls not oxidized. Probably the least developed cuvée; decanting is necessary. Plenty of life ahead given its bracing acidity. From 6 btls purchased in 2011 from the domaine'​s West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung] 
-  * **Meursault–Genèvrières** (Sep. 2017 – ): 2 btls not oxidized. Exquisite aromatics; decanting is recommended. Should continue to develop nicely for a few more years. ​ From 6 btls purchased in 2011 from the domaine'​s West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]

 +===== 2010 =====
 +
 +    * **Meursault–Poruzots** (Dec. 2020 – Oct. 2021): 6 btls not oxidized. Straw yellow color with crystalline clarity. Sexy nose of white flowers complicated by popcorn notes. Delicious &, most importantly,​ not as reductive as the 2009'​s. Decanting is recommended. From 6 btls purchased in 2012 from the domaine'​s West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]

 +
 +===== 2011 =======
 +
 +    * **Meursault–Charmes** (Jul. 2022 – ): 4 btls not oxidized. Best decanted. This is an engaging wine, but is much leaner than it needs to be, & the bouquet developed a fairly pronounced scent of baby powder in some btls. 1 btl consumed in Jan. 2024 was darker than the previous ones, but showed no sign of oxidation EXCEPT for the fact that it was much more enjoyable & less citric than the others. Dare I say it? The super–reductive winemaking style of Jobard fils offers an extra layer of protection against premox that, even if it were to occur in relatively mild form, the wine remains brilliantly drinkable & not unlike some of the best made by Jobard père in a bygone era. From 6 btls purchased in 2013 from the domaine'​s West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
 +    * **Meursault–Genèvrières** (Aug. 2022 – ): 4 btls not oxidized. Best decanted. Exquisite nose of sliced pears & apples intermingled with citrus blossom. Pleasantly sweeter on the palate than the Poruzots & Charmes. A touch of baby powder also develops here in the nose. From 6 btls purchased in 2013 from the domaine'​s West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
 +    * **Meursault–Poruzots** (Apr. 2022 – ): 4 btls not oxidized. Appropriately pale yellow gold. Citrus, mineralité,​ & a hint of white flowers in the nose. Smooth & beautifully balanced on the palate, but this is a modern, lean style of Meursault that is best served with food. The vintages 2009, 2010, & 2011 are so consistent in style that I would have difficulty distinguishing between them in a blind tasting. From 6 btls purchased in 2013 from the domaine'​s West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
