   * **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** (Feb 2010): very 2003 but no signs of oxidation [ER]
-  * **Chablis "Clos"** (Mar. 2019 – Apr. 2020): 3 btls not oxidized. A gem of a wine from a difficult vintage. Best decanted. Not as much depth or power as in more regular vintages, but there are sweet white flowers in the nose, together with delicate minerality & surprisingly colorful texture on the palate. From a lot of 3 purchased in Apr. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
+  * **Chablis "Clos"** (Mar. 2019 – ): 3 btls not oxidized. A real gem of a wine from a difficult vintage. Best decanted, but requires less coaxing than the Valmur. With patience, there are strong hints of the depth & power found in more regular vintages. Sweet white flowers in the nose, together with delicate minerality & surprisingly colorful texture on the palate. From a lot of 3 purchased in Apr. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer, & a further 2 btls in Mar. 2015 from Kermit Lynch its West Coast importer. [Rayner Cheung]

   * **Chablis** **Montee de Tonnerre** (May 2012):no signs of oxidation, NOT very 2003 it was lean not flabby [Suzanne Camhi]
