1995

 * **Batard-Montrachet** (13 & 15 Oct 2004): full blown gold color with toasty aromas; outstanding but going fast [Don Cornwell]

1996

 * **Montrachet** (11 Mar 2010): tasted with Jacques Gagnard's daughter Claudine Blain-Gagnard and Jean-Marc Blain in Los Angeles (from a bottle I purchased at auction a few years ago). In a "pre-oxidative" state said Messr. Blain. It exhibited some prominent yeasty oatmeal notes which he said if we decanted or allowed it to stand in the glass for a while it would disappear, and most of the odors did disappear after about an hour. [Don Cornwell]

1999

 * **Montrachet** (5 Mar 2007): Not oxidized -- see related tasting notes [Don Cornwell]
 * **Chassagne Morgeot** (Nov 2006) not oxidized - from a 375 purchased off a list in Paris (R DeAngelo)
 * **Chassagne Boudriotte** (May 2007) not oxidized - very good showing (R DeAngelo)
 * **Chassagne Boudriotte** (Aug 2007) oxidized (R DeAngelo)

2006

 * **Chassagne Boudriotte** (Nov 2012) Not oxidized. Elegant and fine, very nice expression of chardonnay. [Kurt]

2007

 * **Batard Montrachet** (Aug 2013): Not oxidized, a solid wine [R Younger]
