* **Bienvenues–Bâtard–Montrachet** (Nov. 2016 – Oct. 2018): 6 btls not oxidized. Straw gold color & excellent clarity. Not decanted. Utterly compelling bouquet of sweet white flowers, stoned fruits, & then minerals. Delicious on the palate. Clearly of grand cru caliber, but without the stuffiness & pretense that often comes with the pedigree. From a lot of 6 purchased in May 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung] | * **Bienvenues–Bâtard–Montrachet** (Nov. 2016 – Oct. 2018): 6 btls not oxidized.

- | * **Montrachet** (Jul. & Sep. 2020): 2 btls not oxidized. Stunning wine, fresh as a daisy, & with more development potential. White flowers & candied orchard fruits in the nose. Rounded & complex on the palate, with plenty of grip. From a lot of 2 purchased in Jan. 2018 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer.

Rounded & complex on the palate, rich but with plenty of grip. From a lot of 2 purchased in Jan. 2018 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. Either I have been extrememly lucky with Sauzet in this vintage, or else they made exceptionally robust wines of outstanding quality that year. [Rayner Cheung] |

* **Puligny Combettes** (May 2019): after the Referts & Perrieres. Another odd bottle, the darkest colour (just) of the 3. No obvious pox, but just tatses of caramel, flat, no fruit or minerality or lift. Very advanced - certainly way below par (again)?
