| - | * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Apr. 2021 – ): 4 btls not oxidized. 1 btl had an 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. Rose petals & cherry water. Lovely. From 5 btls purchased from a reputable West Coast retailer in Sep. 2013.

| * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Les Chaumées – Clos de la Truffière"** (Mar. 2021 – Jul. 2021): 2 btls not oxidized. 1st btl, a bit thin, 2nd btl much better. From 2 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2013.

| * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Les Vergers"** (Mar. 2021 – Oct. 2022): 6 btls not oxidized. 2 btls (3/21 & 6/22) were a bit thin, like the Chaumées tasted in 3/21. Subsequent btls (Jun. – Oct. 2022) had a more floral aromatic profile to balance the wine's citrus/mineral character, & were a delight to drink. Btl in Jun. 2022 was more like the first.
