François Labet started harvesting in 2016 at the family estate in Beaune on September 24 and finished on the morning of the rain (October 1). The crop was cut by 50% here and at Labet’s Château de La Tour. Labet told me that both of his properties are now totally biodynamic (since ’15) and that he does not add any sulfur to his wines until after the malolactic fermentations have finished.
Although Labet started picking his Chardonnay in 2015 at the beginning of September, he held off until the 11th to harvest Pinot Noir because it was necessary to wait for enough ripeness to vinify with whole clusters, as he has long done both here and at Château de la Tour. “And using whole clusters really allowed us to maintain freshness in the ‘15s," he said. He added that he finds a lot of early-picked 2015s to have dry tannins. “They’re not complete wines,” he noted.
