Domaine Pierre Labet
Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes village red

François Labet, owner of Château de la Tour in Vougeot, manages the family estate (10 ha in Beaune and Gevrey) with equal talent. He applies the same quality principles: organic farming, non-éraflée harvesting, long ageing (two winters minimum). Far from being the most talked-about domaine, but a wise choice for connoisseurs, according to Bourgogne Aujourd'hui: "to be seized as a matter of urgency, as the quality of the wines has been so consistent for a very long time".

The 2022 vintage is rated 90-92/100 by N. Martin "The Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022, a blend of La Justice, Les Crais and La Jouises, has a pleasant, fragrant bouquet of mulberry and raspberry, with just a hint of lavender/potpourri in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a rather "fresh" Gevrey-Chambertin with a hint of brine giving sapidity on the finish. Promising." (November 2023)
