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".

Vinous (January 2025): 90-92/100 “The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a blend of three parcels on either sandy or clay soils; more stems from the sandier soils were used. The nose shows a little exoticism behind the red fruit with hints of kirsch and tangerines, but it is still well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite elegant in style, with a nice piquancy that attenuates just a little toward the finish. more early-drinking, but certainly weel crafted.”
