| * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Apr. 2021 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Apr. 2021: Ominous shade of gold but not a trace of oxidation. Restrained both in the nose & on the palate, but there were distinct hints of the much beloved old school Niellon style from the 1980's & early 1990's – hedonistic butterscotch & popcorn – but with a modern overlay of mineralité. Lovely. From 5 btls purchased from a reputable West Coast retailer in Sep. 2013. [Rayner Cheung] | * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Apr. 2021 – ): 1 btl not oxidized.
