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.
