Producer Domaine Labet

FRANCE, JURA

Domaine Labet is a small family-run business located in Rotalier, Jura, in eastern France. The company was born in 1974, but it is only in 2003, with the arrival of Julien who is oriented towards a natural philosophy. Julien cultivates 15 hectares of vineyards with the classic Jura vines: chardonnay and savagnin for whites, pinot noir and trousseau for reds. The vineyards, some of which reach 60 years of age, are cared for in a maniacal way by Julien, with the total absence of fertilizers and insecticides, and the only protection is given by sulfur and copper. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations and refinements in oak barriques are preferred. The domaine Labet does not mix different vines but vinifies them in purity and, in some cases, produces single cru cuvées.
