 ===== 2012 =====
-  * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Les Vergers"** (Jul. 2024 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Somewhat darker in color than expected, but nothing wrong. Citrus blossom & citrus pith in the nose, quite lovely. Softer & more relaxed on the palate than the 2011's, with a fatter profile & generous layers of orchard fruit offering counterpoint to the mineralité. From a half case purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
+  * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Blanchot Dessus"** (Oct. 2024 – ):2 btls not oxidized. Pale yellow gold. Citrus pith in the nose, not as forward as the "Les Vergers". In Oct. 2024, still quite tight on the palate even after decanting, with a core of citrus & mineralité but little surrounding fat. Evolving rapidly for the better in Apr. 2025. From a half case purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
