   * ** Puligny–Montrachet "Les Pucelles"** (Aug. 2021 – Feb. 2022): 2 btls not oxidized. Decanting necessary. 1st btl was awful: gooseberry in the nose; more acidic than battery acid on the palate. 2nd btl was much better: floral elements interspersed with flint in the nose; more moderate in terms of acidity on the palate. From a lot of 2 purchased in Dec. 2017 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]

+  * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Nov. 2022 – ): 2 btls not oxidized. Best served decanted. Lightly grilled nuts & white flowers in the nose are very inviting. Excellent balance on the palate with a medium–full body, but the flavors are dominated by more mineralité than fruit. 14% ABV. From a lot of 6 purchased in Jul. 2014 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
+  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Combettes"** (Jul. – Sep. 2022): 3 btls not oxidized, even though the 3rd btl had experienced significant seepage (level ≥ 1.5" from cork) & was noticeably darker in color than the other 2. Decanting recommended. Lively bouquet of citrus blossom, white flowers, & unripe orchard fruits complicated by a touch of smoke/flint. Good fruit/acidity balance (for a modern white Burgundy) on the dry & complex palate. From a lot of 3 purchased in Nov. 2013 from a reputable retailer in Napa. [Rayner Cheung]
