Domaine Pierre Labet

Readers should check out a video that I made with proprietor Edouard Labet in the Media section of Vinous. To add to what he shared in that interview, Labet told me that he is seeking more purity in the whites as they had a lactic acidity that he did not enjoy, so Sylvain Pataille in Marsannay is advising in his field of specialty. He is also using less SO2 after the malo from the 2024 vintage. “I realize how complicated it is to make white wines,” Labet confessed. “It’s about ‘feeling’ of the wine during the winemaking process.” I have to say that I really enjoyed the reds under the Domaine Pierre Labet range this year – full of purity, finesse and very approachable in style, yet with the substance to age. There are just two wines from Château de la Tour this year, the Classique and Vieilles Vignes cuvées, but I think he regrets not bottling an “Homage a Jean Morin” in 2023. Still, as I told him, maybe that just adds to the Vieilles Vignes?
