Fleur de Savagnin "En Chalasse" 2021 - Domaine Labet

Fleur de Savagnin "En Chalasse" - Domaine Labet

White wine obtained from the native vines Savagnin jaune and vert, which come from vineyards planted in 1989 and 2003 which are located on the blue marls of Lias. Fermentation of spontaneous grapes and aging in used barrels and always filled for 18 months. The Fleur de Savagnin has a deep straw yellow color. The nose is full of ripe yellow fruit, buttery and toasted notes. At the sip it is warm, elegant with good freshness and a long persistence with notes of dried fruit and salty tones.

Service

We taste the Fleur de Savagnin at around 12/14° 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

Excellent as an aperitif, paired with fish starters, main courses of fish, ideal pairing with fois gras tartare.

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.
