  June 12, 2019 - Coravin tasting. This followed a surprisingly good basic grower champagne and then a curious sneak peak at my top chardonnary, an Olivier Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet 2011. That was good, not worth the price, but very good but I got lots of sulpher. This is much fresher yet somewhat more developed too. I think it's due to the sulpher. If there is less sulpher in the Chevalier Montracher then I'm blown away and understand Grand Cru Burgundy but I suspect it's just a matter of sulpher. This does seem a lot 'cooler' than before, even Luxembourg-esque. Yet there is a rich ripe apple note, pear too. Actually pear is the distinguishing character here.
  This is quite good. I kind of prefer the Chevalier-M but feel it need more time. This maybe does too. But drinks with a broader profile today and might improve in a very interesting way too.
  Yeah, lots of pear. But much more complex than that. Really good.
