This has a couple years of positive development ahead, with a lightly oxidative note countered by bright stone fruit and salinity

Very interesting bottle. The cork actually removed itself from the bottle. In the glass, the wine was sparkling. Still fermenting? Tasted great. Non-oxidized style: tart green apple, lemon zest, great acidity. Have 5 more in the shop and another one has a cork that appears to be bulging out of the wax.

La Chaux is a Cerebral ice bath. A beautiful complex thinker.

Sniff this thing. Goes deep. Reminds you that there are three dimensions, four dimensions, maybe other dimensions?

Spiritually oxidized, but also bright and yellow in its Chardonnay birth suit.

Smells like candied lemondrop, sweet basil, and volatile Vietnamese cinnamon. Tastes like browned apples and sour starfruit.
