   * **Chevalier Montrachet** (July 2016): Excellent, appropriately pale [RBE_NZ]
   * **Chevalier Montrachet** (Sept 2020): Not oxidised [Jammy Wine]
+  * **Chevalier–Montrachet** (May 2021): Not oxidized. Pale yellow gold. Riveting: this is classic Sauzet & classic 2008 white Burgundy. Citrus & citrus blossom in the nose. Plenty of bracing acidity on the palate, but the underlying richness of the fruit is not to be underestimated. Purchased in Jul. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer.

   * **Puligny Garenne** (Apr 2012): not oxidized, youthful. [Joe Durnell]
   * **Puligny Champ-Canet** (May 2013): not oxidized, youthful and fresh [droch]

   * **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)? (Adrian Latimer)
   * **Puligny Combettes** (June 2019): 3rd time lucky & quite a difference, tight, dense, very citrus, youngish (Adrian Latimer)

 ===== 2009 =====
+  * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Jan. 2022): No premox. Gorgeous wine. Normally their Bâtard is a bit foursquare compared, especially, to their BBV, but this was fresh & zesty. Not a trace of sur–maturité despite the robust yellow color. Purchased in Jun. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
   * **Puligny Folatieries** ( Nov 2016) no premox, very lean wine [b.henry]
   * **Puligny Referts** (May,Dec 2019) 1st no premox, not too 09 ripe, very good, 2nd in December nice aromatics, similar but finish completely flat and dead, drinkable but advanced.  If 1st bottle would score 91-2 this would be 90... (Adrian Latimer)

   * **Puligny Garenne** (July, Sept 2019) both very nice (Adrian Latimer)
   * **Puligny Perrieres** (Dec 2019) again no premox, not too 09 ripe, lovely (Adrian Latimer)
+===== 2011 =====
+  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Combettes"** (May 2022 – May 2023):  3 btls not oxidized. Pale gold. Refined bouquet of peaches with a hint of white flowers. More elegant & less rich on the palate than usual for this cuvée, but much better balanced than many other modern white Burgundies. From 3 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong in Sep. 2015/Jan. 2016. [Rayner Cheung]
+===== 2014 =====
+  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Referts"** (Jul. 2023 – ):  1 btl not oxidized. Sensational wine from an outstanding vintage. Pale gold. Sumptuous bouquet of candied citrus & orchard fruits that continue on to the richly–flavored but elegantly mid–weight palate. From a lot of 6 purchased in Oct. 2020 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
