- | * \\ | + | * **Chablis "Valmur"** (Jan. 2019 – ): 1 btl not oxidzed. Light to medium yellow. Still youthfully backward, with phenomenal concentration. The nose eventually shows hints of white flowers & orchard fruits. Citrus & minerals predominate on the tight palate. Quite a contrast to the Blanchot. From a lot of 2 purchased in Sep. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung] |

* **Chablis "Blanchot"** (Feb. 2015 – Jul. 2018): 5 btls not oxidized. Still very primary & youthful in 2015; reaching its plateau of drinkability in 2018. Probably better decanted. No traces of "2003" vintage traits (q.v. the comments on 2003 Vaillons). 3 btls purchased from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer in Nov. 2013 + 2 btls purchased from Kermit Lynch in early 2015.

+ | * **Chablis "Clos"** (Mar. 2019 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. A gem of a wine from a difficult vintage. Not as much depth or power as in better behaved vintages, but the sweet white flowers in the nose & delicate minerality on the palate are all there. From a lot of 3 purchased in Apr. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung] | ||

* **Chablis "Vaillons"** (Feb. 2016 – Dec. 2016): 4 btls not oxidized. Pale yellow. Better decanted to remove the earthy/wheaty aromas associated with this heatwave vintage.
