Winemaking
The grapes from 40- to 50-year-old vines are hand-harvested and then carefully selected on a vibrating table. The vineyard is located to the north of Beaune, with a southern exposure. Maceration begins with whole clusters and takes place in open vats. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts, completely avoiding the use of added sulfur. After pressing, the wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels (35% new oak). Bottling is done without filtration.
Our tasting note
Bright purple with an intense and exciting aroma of red fruits. A harmonious mix of berries with a pronounced peppery note gives the wine uncompromising intensity. Sweet red cherries and raspberries unfold on the palate, accompanied by a hint of almost chocolate-like nuances. Despite the opulent aromas, the wine remains fresh, elegant, and juicy – a true delight!
Pierre Labet
The Labet family has always had a deep connection to Burgundy and owns the renowned Domaine Pierre Labet in Beaune. The current owner, François Labet, manages not only the wine production under the Domaine Pierre Labet name but has also been overseeing the historic Domaine Château de La Tour in Clos de Vougeot since 1986. Historical records show that the Labet family has been settled in Burgundy for over 500 years and is deeply rooted in the region. For example, François Labet's grandfather was the mayor of Beaune. The vineyards of Domaine Pierre Labet are managed with the same care as those of Château de La Tour. François Labet places great emphasis on vine care, using only copper, sulfur, and biodynamic preparations. The wines of Domaine Pierre Labet reflect the uniqueness of each vineyard and offer a perfect balance between minerality and fruit.
