==== BACKGROUND INFORMATION ====

  * [Ed Note [Don Cornwell]:  Somehow this producer page was deleted previously.  This producer is someone I classify as a Category I producer, meaning that this producer's wines suffer way too frequent premature oxidation.

  * Per Jasper Morris:  The grapes are not crushed before pressing and spend from 12 to 18 months in barrel, 228 litre size from Damy, with 20% new wood. 

=== 2010 ===
  * **2010 Meursault Perrieres** (Feb. 7, 2018): Tasted at 2010 Vintage Assessment Dinner.  Not oxidized, nice, but little resemblance to Meursault Perrieres  (Don Cornwell)
  * **2010 Meursault Perrieres** (Jan. 10, 2019): Notably oxidized. Tossed (Don Cornwell)
