 ===== 2012 =======
+    * **Meursault–Charmes** (Apr. 2025 – ): 2 btls not oxidized + 2 btls oxidized.  The good btls had a lovely floral note in the nose & were quite delicious. From 6 btls purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
-    * ** Meursault–Charmes (Apr. 2025 – ): 6 btls not oxidized. Best decanted. This is an engaging wine, but is much leaner than it needs to be, & the bouquet developed a fairly pronounced scent of baby powder in some btls. 1 btl consumed in Jan. 2024 was darker than the previous ones, but showed no sign of oxidation EXCEPT for the fact that it was much more enjoyable & less citric than the others. Dare I say it? The super–reductive winemaking style of Jobard fils offers an extra layer of protection against premox that, even if it were to occur in relatively mild form, the wine remains brilliantly drinkable & not unlike some of the best made by Jobard père in a bygone era. From 6 btls purchased in 2013 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
+    * **Meursault–Genèvrières** (May 2025 – ):  2 btls not oxidized + 2 btls badly oxidized. 1 of the good btls was bland & non-responsive, the other pretty decent. From 6 btls purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
+    * **Meursault–Poruzots** (Feb. 2025 – ): 2 btls not oxidized + 3 btls badly oxidized. The good btls were open & quite charming. It's quite shocking, though, that Antoine Jobard's fanatically reductive style of winemaking could have resulted in such a high rate of premature oxidation in this vintage. From 6 btls purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
-    * **Meursault–Poruzots** (Feb. 2025 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Surprisingly robust shade of yellow gold. Superbly intricate nose of orange water & citrus blossom. Smooth & beautifully balanced on the palate. Not as lean/reductive as the 2011. From 6 btls purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
