  June 12, 2019 - Corvain tasting. Had a sneak tasting of this with a Coravin. Followed a fantastic yet basis grower champagne.
  I get an impression of pent-up potential, no idea why. Psychological or real? Very nice oak, great fruit but not quite fully there yet. I guess it is a bit reminiscent of a young and really good chardonnay, say a 16 or 17 meursault but without some of the really young aromas. And this is 8 years old. From that perspective I get it although can't see why anyone would pay €200+ for this. It's bonkers. Yet there is something.
  Now I'm getting hints of sulpher. I do wonder if that is the secret. Sulphur. But still it just seems like it is electric with potential. No idea if the sulphur is giving me that impression or if there is really something very very special about this vineyard.
