   * **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. [Rayner Cheung]
   * **Chablis Clos** (Feb 2010): very 2003 but no signs of oxidation [ER]
-  * **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 Valmur** (Oct 2011): A clumsy wine, but no signs of oxidation [NTyson]
   * **Chablis Valmur** (April 2014): no premox but a bit too 2003 [A.Latimer]
-  * **Chablis "Valmur"** (Dec. 2016 – Oct. 2020): 6 btls not oxidized. This wine is much better decanted & served from a glass with a wide bowl. Gorgeous, classic Raveneau nose of sweet white flowers, more subtle than in other vintages. No hint of "2003" vintage traits (q.v. the comments on 2003 Vaillons). Precise flavors on the palate with an impressive & dry finish. From a lot of 4 purchased in Mar. 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]
