This would have to go down as one of the great bottles this year. So much personality, flavour and interest. Fantastic - 2013

Domaine Labet is a treasured producer of organic and biodynamic wines from the Côtes du Jura AOC.
Labet follows a philosophy of “nothing added, nothing removed” in its winemaking, designed to let the grapes and growing environment speak for themselves without reliance on chemicals or additives like sulfur.
It has a range of products and is revered for its spectacular Chardonnays that are expressive of the mosaic of soil types found across estate vineyard sites.
Tonight, we’re sipping a Chardonnay called ‘Bajocien’ made with grapes grown on vines planted in 1949 on limestone soils with high iron content. Fittingly, ‘Bajocien’ refers to a stage on the geologic timescale associated to the Middel Jurassic period.
The color is gorgeously golden, likely due (in part) to aging 22 months in 228L oak barrels prior to release. Aromas and flavors offer concentrated notes of ripe golden delicious apples, starfruit, melon, with chamomile, crushed stones, cream, frozen pie crust, and pinenut.
It is rich, racy, and textured and completely delicious!!!

Helt rank, slank og mineralsk Labet. Krystalklar syre. Mere citronsk end hele Amalfikysten. Very nice, Nice. (38 euro).

Jul 21st, 2023Loads of lemon and crushed stone. Quite complex both on the nose and palate. Big bodied, high acidity, long finish. Definitely ready to drink now, I don’t feel like this particular cuvée will benefit from further aging.

Nov 9th, 202216/20 (88/100) Аромат с нотами зелёных яблок, лимонного сока и поджаренного хлеба. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью, и меловой текстурой. Свежее во вкусе. (06.04.2019) #vinnatur2019
