An introduction to 'funky whites from the Jura' for my fellow drinkers. Great to read their first experience from their faces: 'I don't know what is going on, if it is supposed to be good or bad, but I f*cking like it!'

2009 vintage. Super intense. Mountains of minerals. Salene. Oxydised. Everything is just ok, just not over the top.

Hazelnuts, vanilla, minerals. V nice. Little bit sherry-like oxidized notes.
