“Champ de Cour is particularly impressive: crisp and full-bodied, it will age well for 25 years. (RVF)”

“This refined red wine offers aromas of tea leaves, nutmeg, blueberries, and wild cherries on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied, complex, and spicy palate with fine tannins. Long and harmonious on the finish.” (James Suckling 2025)

Rated estate (2021 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)

About the estate:

The Labruyère estate is one of the oldest in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. In 1850, Jean-Marie Labruyère, a vineyard worker, settled in Les Thorins, a hamlet of Romanèche-Thorins. Since then, successive generations have managed the estate’s 10 hectares. During this period, the family acquired the appellation’s only single vineyard, the Clos du Moulin-à-Vent. In 2008, Édouard Labruyère took over the estate with the goal of elevating it to the ranks of the appellation’s leading producers. Under the guidance of winemaker Nadine Gublin (who also oversees the Jacques Prieur estate and JM Labruyère champagnes), the estate has reached new heights in recent vintages. The wines, which can be austere upon opening, demonstrate a depth and complexity that live up to the ambitions set forth a decade ago. Clos-du-Moulin-à-Vent holds its own, a superb success in 2017.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

After making their fortune in the retail sector, the Labruyères invested in wine, purchasing shares in Dom. Jacques Prieur in Meursault in 1988. Since 2008, they have also reconnected with their Beaujolais roots: an ancestor had settled in Les Thorins in 1850, notably managing the renowned Clos du Moulin-à-Vent monopoly. Édouard Labruyère took over the estate, retaining only the finest plots. The vineyard now covers 14 hectares.

About the estate:

2018 is the finest vintage I have tasted to date from Domaine Labruyère. Not only was Moulin-à-Vent finally spared from the hail—which devastated the appellation in 2016 and 2017 —but the 2018s are the most integrated wines I have tasted from the estate to date, with their aging contributing a much more subtle aromatic and structural profile than was the case in the previous vintages I have encountered. The winemaking here is what is sometimes described as Burgundian: that is, the grapes are destemmed and macerated for 2 to 3 weeks in concrete tanks before aging in barrels and demi-muids.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Champ de Cour is particularly outstanding: crisp and full-bodied, it will age well for 25 years.

About the estate:

The Labruyère family has owned this château since 1850. Jean-Pierre Labruyère, who also owns the Jacques Prieur estate in Meursault and Château Rouget in Pomerol, handed over the reins to his son Édouard in 2008. The winery has been modernized, and the estate expanded. In 2000, the Clos du Moulin-à-Vent was added to the vineyard holdings. Nadine Gublin is in charge of the cellar, and Michel Rovere oversees the vineyards. The “Burgundian” winemaking style (destemming followed by barrel aging) produces wines with full yet smooth tannins that age beautifully.

Medium ruby color. A smoky nose with aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, and plum. On the palate, it offers a raspberry coulis and a silky texture, with pronounced notes of kirsch on the finish.
