   * **Batard Montrachet** (Aug 2013); no oxidation and a stunning tight wine[R Younger]
   * **Batard Montrachet** (Feb 2014); no oxidation and very young[TSim@rud]
+  * **Bâtard–Montrachet** (Nov. 2021 – Jun. 2022):  1 btl borderline oxidized + 1 btl fine. The good btl was pale to medium gold, with a floral nose complicated by mineralité. On the palate, a taste of dried peaches, citrus peel, & minerals. Similar in style to the 2005, but less sweet & less powerful. 13% ABV. From a lot of 2 purchased in May 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]

   * **Puligny Montrachet Pucelles**(Sept 2020): Oxidised [Jammy Wine]
-  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Pucelles"** (May 2021 – ): 4 btls not oxidized + 1 btl amber gold in color, but the aromatics & flavors were quite fine. Powdered lemon & lime candy, stone, & a little musk in the nose. More citrus on the palate, together with peach pit & lemondrops. A very different style of Pucelles compared with something even as recent as the 2007 (which exhibited a more diverse range of fruit elements – see above), but this may reflect the vintage more than any change in winemaking approach, since comparable wines at comparable domaines are also exhibiting this citrus–heavy character. From a lot of 6 purchased in Aug. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
