-  * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Dec. 2017 – ): btls not oxidized + 3 btls over the hill/​oxidized. ​Good btls were scintillating,​ lively, multi–faceted. A great relief after the disatrous 2007'​s. From a lot of 11 (yes, 11) purchased in Aug. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. Back label: Atherton Wine Imports. [Rayner Cheung]+  * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Dec. 2017 – May 2019): btls not oxidized + 3 btls over the hill/​oxidized. ​The good btls were absolutely ​scintillating,​ lively, multi–faceted ​examples of benchmark Burgundy grand cru. The last btl in this tranche was stunning (May 4, 2019). A great relief after the disatrous 2007'​s. From a lot of 11 (yes, 11) purchased in Aug. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. Back label: Atherton Wine Imports. [Rayner Cheung]
   * **Bienvenue Batard Montrachet** (July 2017) Deep golden color. Uh oh. Barely, barely hanging on. Whiff of sherry on the nose. Acidity is prominent, most of the fruit pretty well gone. Imported by Fine Vines in Chicago.[pmesro]   * **Bienvenue Batard Montrachet** (July 2017) Deep golden color. Uh oh. Barely, barely hanging on. Whiff of sherry on the nose.

   * **Batard Montrachet** ( Nov 2016) fabulous wine [b.henry]   * **Batard Montrachet** ( Nov 2016) fabulous wine [b.henry]
 +  * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Oct. 2019 – ): 1 btl oxidized + 6 btls not oxidized + 2 magnums not oxidized. The good btls were brilliant, as good as the 2008, but not as sexy. Sliced pear, peach, & apricot intermingled with white flowers inform the exquisite nose. Still a little tight on the palate, but developing admirably. Best decanted. From 4 btls purchased in Apr. 2011 from a reputable West Coast retailer + a lot of 3 magnums purchased in Apr. 2015 & a lot of 3 btls purchased in Oct. 2015, both from the auction platform of the same retailer. Back labels: Latitude Wines (retail) + Atherton Wine Imports (auction). The oxidized btl came from auction. [Rayner Cheung]
   * **Bienvenues- Batard Montrachet** ( Dec 2016) excellent, no problems here [b.henry]   * **Bienvenues- Batard Montrachet** ( Dec 2016) excellent, no problems here [b.henry]
-  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Folatières"​** (Nov. 2018 – ): btls not oxidized. ​Quite pale yellow ​colorSomewhat ​reduced. ​Would have been better ​decanted. From 6 btls purchased in Apr. 2011 from a reputable West Coast retailer. Not much progress compared with another btl from the same source that was consumed shortly after purchase in Apr. 2011. [Rayner Cheung] +  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Folatières"​** (Nov. 2018 – Sep. 2020): btls not oxidized. ​This has acquired some color in the past year, going from pale yellow ​to light amberIt has also gone from somewhat austere & reduced ​to being a full, rich white Burgundy with noble characteristicsBest decanted, allowing the floral elements & orchard fruit essence to emerge. From 6 btls purchased in Apr. 2011 from a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung] 
-  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Pucelles"​** (Dec. 2018 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. ​Slightly riper than the Folatières, ​but still quite reduced ​with an indistinct ​nose modestly pleasurable ​palate. From 6 btls purchased in Apr. 2011 from a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]+  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Pucelles"​** (Dec. 2018 – Dec. 2020): 6 btls not oxidized. ​Best decanted. More feminine ​than the Folatières,​ with an intense ​nose of citrus oils that turns floral, almost like top Condrieu. White–fleshed fruits on the lovely ​palate. Hints of orange blossom also. From 6 btls purchased in Apr. 2011 from a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung
