Domaine Pierre Labet

The wines sold under the Domaine Pierre Labet name are vinified at Château de La Tour and enjoy the same fastidious attention to detail as those of Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.

About

Both estates are under the watchful eye and fastidious vineyard management of François Labet. As at Château de la Tour, the vineyards are organically farmed and 100% whole bunches are used here, in preference, when vintage permits, giving a lifted, sappy quality to the wines. We have dubbed François secateuriste as he prefers to control production by strict pruning rather than green harvesting. He is passionate about vine health, resolute in his belief that his wines rely totally on the health of the crop.

No sulphur dioxide is used at harvest, with François instead choosing to protect the grapes using carbon dioxide (dry ice) at the top of the vats. There is no racking after malolactic fermentation. The wines are left to settle in vat after pressing. The white wines are given brief periods of lees contact following fermentation, but no bâtonnage (lees stirring). Whites are given a light fining, not for the reds. No wines are filtered. It may seem like precious micro- management - tant mieux.

This presents lemongrass and green apple on the nose. François does not believe in stirring, the fermentation process itself creating natural movement. This is something of a no-brainer - verging on decadence – but with just enough acidic backbone adding refreshment

François Labet is a perfectionist with a steely determination regarding what he wants to see in his red and white wines. “It’s easy to make whites, you just focus on the acids”, is his view allied to his goal for excellent ingredients. Well his vision reaps considerable rewards. Here we find stone fruit, with a hint of tropical exoticism, a dash of grapefruit and that all-important acidic backbone. 2015 presents a more flamboyant wine than in some vintages perhaps, but a little decadence doesn't hurt.

The Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from two plots in Chorey-lès-Beaune. The nose here shows ripe white peach and a little green melon, with a gratifying bite of flinty minerality. The palate is crunchy and precise – that all-important acidity – with a grippiness and a saltiness to the finish and an old vine fruit intensity which prevails throughout a long, poised finish.

2017, first and foremost, presents us with a delicious expression of Pinot Noir. François likes to stress that this wine is about the grape rather than the terroir as it comes from three different plots. They are all in Chorey-lès-Beaune, which has more clay than the Côte, being located at the beginning of the plain. Brightly red fruited, with a nice crunchiness of fruit and very crisp acidity. The Labet whole-bunch treatment adds a lovely upbeat approachability. 10% new oak, gives a roundness of texture - tremendous value.

As the name "dessus" suggests, this lies above Les Marconnets, on the border with Savigny and at the beginning of the wooded Montagne de Beaune. Green-gold in colour, this hints at lemon puff biscuits, citrus drizzle cake and tarte tatin. The palate follows with green apples, stony minerals and buttered shortcake – lovely balance. The finish is lively, upbeat and focused with terrific energy – a fine flag-bearer.

Bright ruby in colour, this has a lovely nose, sappy, appetising, sweet and concentrated with lovely freshness. Ripe on the palate it reveals further aromatic concentration, violet rose and briny minerals - a “vin gourmand”.

François Labet and his team have produced a characterful 2014 Coucherias - a fine standard bearer for the vineyards around Beaune. This offers a lifted, bitter cherry nose, creaminess and slightly raisined richness. It presents rather juicy, deep fruit, with saline hints on the palate, a touch of coffee and some smoky, savoury layers on the finish.

2017, first and foremost, presents us with a delicious expression of Pinot Noir. Marconnets is located in the northern part of Beaune, on the boundary with Savigny. A bright nose of raspberry and red cherry, really vibrant, with a lot of exotic spice and a little lactic volume. The palate is actually more precise and mineral-driven than the nose suggests; François pointed out that his trademark 100% whole bunch vinification gives a saltiness to the wines also, making you salivate. Fabulous energy. 20% new oak adds texture

As the name "Dessus" suggests, this lies above Les Marconnets on the border with Savigny and at the beginning of the wooded Montagne de Beaune. Lovely ripe white peach and struck-match flintiness on the nose, with a hint of toasty new oak. The palate is generous and quite fleshy on the attack, becoming more saline and focused as the palate progresses, finishing with a sense of grip. Vinified for 13 months, in 350 litre barrels, 50% new.

2014 was very much a year of two halves. The best half began during the second half of August. It was warm and, crucially for maturation, the sun came out, together with a northerly wind, which dried the grapes. 2014 was made by this end of season, the month before harvest cossetted under a protective weather blanket of high pressure. Harvest conditions were optimal. The nose, rich in berries and cherries, is suffused with violet and rose petals. There is fresh juicy acidity, fine grip and attractive fruit underscored by earthy minerals

Savigny-lès-Beaune is one of the wine communes of the Côte de Beaune - often overlooked - despite offering great value.The nose and palate here exalt in bright, focused orchard fruit, very pure and fine. Lemongrass and grapefruit zest add complexity and the finish shows extraordinary drive – upbeat, mineral rich and poised.

Coucherias is located in the middle of Beaune, above Teurons. Planted in 1964, it is a warm, south-facing site, high on the slope. This is very aromatically expressive on the nose, with a nettly, tea-leaf spice. The palate is precise and poised, with bright raspberries and tomato leaf, a little peppery spice and remarkably fine tannins. 25% new oak.
