Domaine Julien Labet
En Chalasse Fleur de Savagnin
Cool wine. Long ageing (7 years). Complex but kind of flat on the mouthfeel. Not a wine for everyone. — 6 months ago

Les Turbulents Crémant du Jura Brut Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2020
Already lots of umami/mushroom elements here. Not sure if this would have much upside to aging but if you’ve got one it seems to be in a delicious spot right now. Unique and intriguing. — 8 months ago
Domaine Julien Labet
Les Parcelles Rares Les Varrons Pinot Noir
A bottle that I will probably never taste again. Definitely PN with strawberry, cranberry, red cherry but a little more earthiness (in a good way) than A Burg. A little tannic, a little used oak and a little more weight. Delicious, layered, complex and definitely of place. — 3 months ago
Domaine Labet
Les Champs Rouges Les Parcelles Rares Jura Sud Revermont Chardonnay
The favorite wine from my tasting with Matt and Paul. Stunning. layered, complex and evolved through the night. Unfortunately, the only bottle I had. Labet is getting nearly impossible to source. Excellent pair with crab mac and cheese. — 6 months ago

Tonight we opened the 2020 Domaine Labet Lias Les Juvéniles made with Chardonnay grown on blue clay and limestone soils (known as ‘Lias’), hailing from 30-60 year old vines in the lieux-dits of La Pellerine, Le Crêt, Arteau. 🌱
It underwent fermentation with wild yeast followed by 17 months aging on the lees in 228L oak barrels.
The color is a luminescent golden hue. After giving it a swirl, the aromas and flavors are singing!
It offers notes of flint, toast, fresh quince, honeydew, starfruit, yellow apple skin, juicy white peach, lemon peel, white blossom, chamomile, cream, sage, and hazelnut.
On the palate this wine is dry with structural symmetry and textural richness. It is mouth-coating with a long-elegant finish.
