-  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jun. 2017 – ): 1 btl not oxidized ​but somewhat advanced. Orange blossom, a hint of honey, & mineral notes in the nose. Much richer & sweeter on the palate than the Charmes. ​A touch more acidity ​would have been preferable. Almost ​a '​meditation'​ wine. From a lot of 3 purchased in Jul. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]+  * **Meursault–Perrières** (Jun. 2017 – Jul. 2018): 3 btls not oxidized, of which 2 were absolutely stunning (Mar. & Jul. 2018) & the other somewhat advanced ​(Jun. 2017). Orange blossom, a hint of honey, wheat, & mineral notes in the nose. Much richer & sweeter on the palate than the Charmes. ​The advanced btl was a little short on acidity, making it almost ​a '​meditation'​ wine. From a lot of 3 purchased in Jul. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]

 +  * **Meursault–Perrières** (May 2016, May 2019): ​ 2 btls not oxidized. On both occasions, the nose was reluctant & the flavors were reserved. Tightly packed with extract that could benefit from decanting and/or a glass with a wide bowl. From a lot of 3 purchased at retail in Hong Kong in Mar. 2015. [Rayner Cheung]

   * **Meursault Perrieres** (24 Mar 2011): I don't normally post about wines less than 6 years old, but this wine was notably advanced -- it tasted like a 7 or 8 year old wine. It was fabulous, but scary. Complete cork seal failure? I hope so, as I own a lot of this one [Don Cornwell]   * **Meursault Perrieres** (24 Mar 2011): I don't normally post about wines less than 6 years old, but this wine was notably advanced -- it tasted like a 7 or 8 year old wine.

   * **Meursault Genevrieres** (July 2014): After two brilliant bottles earlier this year from the same case (both young, taut, mineral driven and racy), a third bottle was seriously premoxed.   * **Meursault Genevrieres** (July 2014): After two brilliant bottles earlier this year from the same case (both young, taut, mineral driven and racy), a third bottle was seriously premoxed.

   * **Montrachet** (May 2015): Not oxidized but fully developed. Colour was troubling...deepish gold but not dull. Lots of honey on the nose and palate but a ripping acidic core. A very full bodied, big boy wine in the DRC Montrachet. Some might have taken a different view and found it a bit poxed but I didn't find any hints of tiring. Still, if you have it, you better drink it. [Ken Lamb]   * **Montrachet** (May 2015): Not oxidized but fully developed. Colour was troubling...deepish gold but not dull.

 +  * **Meursault Perrieres** (March 2019) Coravin. ​ Alarming pale gold.  Actually very drinkable, impressive, but very advanced, tastes more like 1998 than 2008, big, rich, acidity but very mature (Adrian Latimer)
