C. Bouchard inflorescence Q

Does anybody recall which year (either calendar or Bouchard vintage) Doug Polaner first picked up Bouchard? My recollection is that the first two US vintages were imported by a small importer in Massachusetts, but that could be totally wrong.

I ask because I am at this moment hugely enjoying a bottle of (the basic) Inflorescence from that release. It has all the ripe, yellow fruit and white flowers of his best wines with the acidic lift that some of his more recent wines sometimes lack.
 
Evidence suggests 2011 as I have a couple of disgorged in 2010's that were brought in by Vineyard Road (MA).

And there is this Asimov article from 2011 that says Polaner.

Thanks, Bill. An industry lurker tells me that Doug and Vineyard Road were both importing as early as '09. My first bottles were from Garagiste in late 07 or early '08 and had the vineyard road back label. I should have mark these later bottles when I got them (from Crush or CSW, I think). Oh well. I'll just be grateful that they are drinking so well.
