Notes: RVF 15/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
“Minerality and floral notes vie for attention. The wine is intense, fruity, and flavorful. This is a wine for fine dining; river fish in sauce will allow it to shine. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2012)

Rated estate (2012 guide): 3 stars (Very high-quality production)

About the estate:

"The Poulsard vineyard planted in 1876 by their great-grandfather, Albert, is still in production. Today, Alain and Josie Labet work with two of their children (Domaine Labet), while Julien (Julien Labet Vignerons) cultivates 3 hectares on his own—including 1.7 hectares of vines over 60 years old. Yields are strictly controlled, and the soil is carefully tended, with fertilizers and insecticides strictly prohibited. In the cellar, Julien focuses on producing wines from specific plots.”

Rated estate (2012 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

“Julien Labet is indeed the son of Alain, of Domaine Labet. After starting out alongside his father, Julien began with 3 hectares in 2003. The two estates are quite distinct, and Julien recently decided to convert his estate to organic farming. All the wines are vinified using native yeasts and aged in oak barrels. We are captivated by the style and the lingering finish of the wines presented. The estate, now rightfully distinguished, offers wines that display beautiful consistency and a very sincere expression.”
