Delicious Chardonnay… hitting its stride now. Salty, mineral, tight lemon, a touch of savory honey.

Sherry like. Deep golden color. Interesting but not for the masses. A Jura “non-oille” unicorn.

This wine is rockin! has some funk but with a little air the touch of sweet oak comes out and it really sings.

This felt like a mix between a Savennieres and a Savagnin. Funky.

I love the subtlety of this wine. Pure elegance and layers of flavor. So pretty.

Apple, vinegar, herbs, and a bit of honey and florals.

Loved this funky, oxidated chardonnay. Wine pairing at Le Comptoir.
