===== 2004 =====

  * **Meursault Genevrieres** (Dec 2015) not oxidized (R DeAngelo)


===== 2009 =====

  * **Meursault–Genèvrières** (Aug. 2018 – Jul. 2019): 3 btls not oxidized. Lovely wine with a gorgeous nose & an exotic but not over–the–top palate of tropical fruits & citrus zest. From a lot of 3 purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2011. [Rayner Cheung]
  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Oct. 2018 – Oct. 2019): 3 btls not oxidized. Another lovely wine, here with a classic Perrières nose of smokey flintiness & orchard fruits on the palate beautifully balanced by minerality. From a lot of 3 purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2011. [Rayner Cheung]


===== 2010 =====

  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jan. 2020 – May 2020): 1 btl oxidized + 2 btls not oxidized. The good btls had a subtly delicate bouquet of white flowers & peach, & tasted quite young & minerally. From 3 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong in Sep. 2014. [Rayner Cheung]


===== 2011 =====

  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jun. 2020 – Feb. 2021): 3 btls not oxidized. Pale yellow gold color. Reticient nose only showing hints of citrus & popcorn. Youthfully lean on the palate. Best decanted. From 3 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong in Jun. 2015. [Rayner Cheung]


===== 2012 =====

  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Apr. 2021 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Outstanding wine with thrilling nose & beautiful palate. A far cry from the unbalanced, insipid 2011's.  From 2 btls purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2016. [Rayner Cheung]
  * **Meursault–Charmes** (Nov. 2021): 1 btl not oxidized. Lovely, but a little fatter than the Perrières. Purchased at retail in Hong Kong circa 2016. [Rayner Cheung]
