Winemaking
The vineyard is located to the north, between Beaune and Chorey-lès-Beaune, with parcels facing south. Harvesting is done carefully by hand, followed by meticulous sorting on a vibrating table. Maceration begins with whole clusters and takes place in open vats. Fermentation occurs naturally using indigenous yeasts, with no 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
Brilliant ruby red. On the nose, enticing aromas of red and black berries, herbs, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, juicy, concentrated, and richly fruity, with a silky texture, attractive fruitiness, and perfectly integrated acidity. Long, lingering finish.
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.
