Vin de France Metis 2019 - Domaine Labet

Vin de France Metis - Domaine Labet

Labet's Vin de France Metis is a wine that is the result of an elaborate blend of trousseau, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau, Gamay, Chardonnay and other varieties. After the harvest, in the cellar the fermentations are carried out separately for each variety in barrique. We then proceed with the assembly, and the aging takes place for a total duration of between 8 and 10 months, in old oak barrels. A wine of great freshness, drinkability, and elegance, with an aromatic profile rich in fruit and spices.

Service

We taste a temperature around 16/18 ° C. It is recommended to serve it in Tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairings

Throughout the meal, it goes well with classic meat-based second courses. Roasts, seasoned cheeses and mixed meats

Winery: Domaine Labet

Domaine Labet is a small family-run business located in Rotalier, Jura, in the east of France. The company was founded 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 the whites, pinot noir and trousseau for the reds. The vineyards, some of which reach 60 years of age, are treated 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 barrels are preferred. The Labet domaine does not blend different vines but vinifies them in purity and, in some cases, produces single-cru cuvée.
