Winemaking
In the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, the vineyards are divided into three parcels: the southern parcel, which includes Les Crais and Jouise, and the northern parcel Justice, where the vines are south-facing. The 60-year-old vines are carefully hand-harvested and meticulously sorted on a vibrating table. 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
Sparkling garnet red with violet highlights, the wine reveals an exciting bouquet of red and black berries, wild herbs, licorice, and earthy-fresh notes. On the palate, it is juicy and fruity, delicious and enticing with an abundance of fruit. A pleasant sweetness of red berries, blackcurrant, and black cherry integrates harmoniously with the fine, characteristic minerality and the spicy notes of limestone. The wine is both delicate and playful, yet powerful and complex. Long, lasting 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.
