In 2013, wine quality closely tracks the hierarchy of appellations, said François Labet. Always a late harvester owing to the fact that he does not destem his fruit, Labet waited until October 10 to start, not just at Chateau de la Tour but at the family domain in Beaune as well. But the need to pick late is becoming less of a hardship lately, he told me, as "with climate change, the stems are bringing a mass of round, sweet tannins." Labet describes the 2013 as "like a cross between 2008 and 2010, with the structure of 2008 and the ripeness of 2010."
