Chablis Clos(Dec 2005): All Justerini and Brooks Dauvissat-Camus - No oxidation, drunk too early [Will WineBum Gau]
Chablis Clos(Feb 2006- Mar 2007) All European cuvees: Tight, tensile and properly young and racy bottle served alongside the forward '96 Preuses in Feb '06; Mar 2007 (from same case)- Identically forward and soft showing to the Preuses the year before- right now a lovely drink, but in need of quick consumption- 1st stage of premature oxidation. (J. Gilman)
Chablis Clos(August 2007): (375 ml) young, vibrant and showed best the next a.m., when still in the glass; would have been no oxidation; still fairly primary [Stuart BH Niemtzow]

Chablis Clos(27 Aug 2009): Dauvissat Euro labels and wax capsule-not oxidized, utterly brilliant and one of the best wines of the year. [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Clos( Dec 2009-Feb 2010): four bottles all Dauvissat-Camus labels from the UK: every one of these bottles was far more mature and advanced than the others I have had (with US and UK Dauvissat labels). One bottle was incredible fully mature Chablis. A second was almost fully mature but not quite as exceptional. Two were advanced, oatmeal-dominated bottles and clearly on the borderline for premature oxidation. [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Clos(Feb. 2010 ) apparent oxidation, very golden colour ( 375 ml ) ( Rainer Guntermann )

Chablis Clos(8 May 2010): (Dauvissat-Camus label from Europe) -absolutely fabulous bottle; not oxidized [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Clos(July 2010): (375 ml) young, vibrant and maturing; less nearing being open for business than the one in August 2009, but really nice wine, esp. vis a vis the 1999 of the same, which was quite good [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Clos(16 Aug 2010): (Vineyard Brands label) not oxidized but close to mature [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Clos(5 Nov 2010) (Vineyard Brands label): not oxidized, almost fully mature and fabulous wine [Don Cornwell]

Chablis Clos(16 Oct 2011): Another stellar showing. No sign of oxidation [Howard Horwitz]
Chablis Clos(June 2013): (375 ml) oxidized notes; not good…but not undrinkable. I'd say this is “slightly oxidized”, as others describe [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Clos(October 2013): (375 ml) forward and beautiful; can there be any explanation for such variation within the same case/cache than the seal? [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Forest(Jul 2005): slightly oxydized, corresponding to Bernard Roths description [Odd Rydland]
Chablis Forest(Oct 2005): (375 ml) at first very advanced and odd with darkish color; later clearly oxidized [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Forest(8 Dec 2005): (Dauvissat-Camus label) was slightly oxidized, a bit nutty as a consequence, but good acid kept it lively [Bernard Roth]
Chablis Forest(Jan 2006): (375 ml) young, vibrant and showed best the next a.m., when still in the glass; would have been great if not killed in childhood [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Forest(Feb 2006): no oxidation, pale color, very fresh, young, ultra-bright lemony acidity [Frank Drew]

Chablis Forest(19 Apr 2009): (Euro cuvee) completely oxidized – a total of 3/6 from this box [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Forest(16 Jan 2010): (Dauvissat-Camus label) completely oxidized [Joe Floren]
Chablis Forest(16 Jan 2010): (Dauvissat-Camus label) not oxidized - light to med gold color; aged chablis nose… citrus, stone; decent acidity upon open and built over 3 hours to a peak, then was only mildly interesting after that. (MSaviage)
Chablis Forest(Apr 2010): (375 ml) Clearly oxidized [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Forest(Jan 2011): Dauvissat-Camus label - dark gold color with “oxidized nose” right off the bat - but I wouldn't call this “premox” - rather, it's at a very mature state with still a complex structure and lots of acidity - the wine got better over 3 hours (MSaviage)
Chablis Forest(Feb 2011): Young. Light gold. Meyer lemon, burre blanc, sea shell, flowers. Honey note after a few hours, nut the next day. Outstanding. First from case. (PBortin)
Chablis Forest(June 2011): Dauvissat-Camus label - younger and fresher than the January bottle; mature nose but not pre-mox'd - great acidity and long finish (MSaviage)
Chablis Forest(June 2011): Dauvissat-Camus label - darkest color of the bottles I've had, totally shot with no spine or structure; poured down the drain (MSaviage)
Chablis Forest(June 2013): (375 ml) oxidized– and corked..quite a treat! [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Preuses(16 Mar 2006) (European cuvee with yellow wax capsule)- not oxidized in the slightest, very youthful color and vibrant acidity with surprisingly compelling fruit and minerals–decade plus left [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Preuses(19 Nov 2006): (Dauvissat-Camus label) - not oxidised at all, super wine [P Sidebotham]
Chablis Preuses(Feb 2006) (European cuvee): beginning to oxidize- chicken stock and beeswax nose, soft finish with no grip or length. Still a good drink, but consume soon. [J. Gilman]
Chablis Preuses(Apr 2009): Stunningly good and did not fade throughout a long meal [David Honig]
Chablis Preuses(May 2009): (375 ml) young, vibrant and showed best the next a.m.,;
IMO the best Chablis has to offer: the Preuses by Dauvissat. [Stuart BH Niemtzow]
Chablis Preuses(Feb 2010): not badly oxidized, but darker than it should have been, very nutty and atypical for Chablis, but quite enjoyable [Alan Weinberg]
Chablis Preuses(8 Feb 2011): (Euro bottling with short yellow wax capsule)–fabulous wine, not oxidized. See 95-2000 Retrospecctive Notes. [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Preuses(6 Jun 2011): (Euro bottling with metal capsule purchased in France): not oxidized and truly impressive. [Don Cornwell]
Chablis Preuses (Feb 2012): (375 ml) Seemed oxidized from the start. Next day in open decanter much better, though still odd. See Alan Weinberg's description from 2/10. Clearly something wrong. Cork extremely rigid, FWIW. Great example of a Preuses when left in open decanter for 1/5 days. So, this was really “reduced” , not oxidized..
Caveat emptor!! [Stuart BH Niemtzow]

Chablis Vaillons (Nov 2010): Not oxidized; very bright, minerally, and precise; VB bottle [Frank Drew]
Chablis Vaillons (June 2015): At the domaine. Fantastic. Exactly as it should be with notes of sous bois, toasted hazelnuts and cut straw. Almost piercing acidity and wonderful complexity. Not a trace of oxidation. [Robin Kick]
