   * **Chassagne-Montrachet Boudriotte** (Feb 2017, June 2018): fine [Adrian Latimer]
-  * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Les Vergers"** (Apr. 2021 – ): 6 btls not oxidized. The first btl appeared to be somewhat darker in color than the other 5, but was perfectly fine & served decanted. Classic Bruno style of Les Vergers, very mineral & taut, with just a little muskiness in the nose. Decanting definitely helps. From a half case purchased in 2013 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]

-  * **Puligny–Montrachet "La Truffière"** (Jun. 2022 – ): 6 btls not oxidized. Very refined nose of orange blossom & white flowers. Muskiness quite pronounced in some btls. Citrus & a hint of orchard fruits on the palate. Exceptionally well–balanced & delicious. From 7 btls purchased in 2013 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.

+===== 2012 =====
+  * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Blanchot Dessus"** (Oct. 2024 – ):1 btl not oxidized. Pale yellow gold. Citrus pith in the nose, not as forward as the "Les Vergers". Still quite tight on the palate even after decanting, with a core of citrus & mineralité but little surrounding fat. From a half case purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
+  * **Chassagne–Montrachet "Les Vergers"** (Jul. 2024 – ): 4 btls not oxidized. Somewhat darker in color than expected, but nothing wrong. Citrus blossom & citrus pith in the nose, quite lovely. Softer & more relaxed on the palate than the 2011's, with a fatter profile & generous layers of orchard fruit offering counterpoint to the mineralité. From a half case purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
+  * **Puligny–Montrachet "La Truffière"** (Dec. 2024 – ): 1 btl not oxidized. Medium gold, somewhat darker than expected. Delicately floral in the nose with notes of powdered citrus. Quite forward on the palate after decanting, but tending towards youthfully lean. From a half case purchased in 2014 from the domaine's West Coast importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant. [Rayner Cheung]
