2021 Domaine Labet, Savagnin en Chalasse & 2020 Cremant du Jura - Jura - 2 Pullot (0.7 L)

Domaine Labet is one of the most important, appreciated and sought-after wineries in the entire Jura wine region, whether for its pure and artisanal production approach or for the sublime expressive breadth of its wines. The estate was founded in 1974 in Rotalier, in the southern part of the region, by the enterprising and passionate husband and wife team Josie and Alain Labet and today the Domaine is managed by their children Romain, Charline and especially Julien.

The 15 hectares of vineyards cultivated by Domaine Labet are reserved for the traditional Jura varieties Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard, but it is the first two that constitute the varietal core of the estate. The vines reach up to 90 years of age and are rooted in clay-limestone soils consisting of red, white, yellow and blue marl, rich in marine fossils in certain parcels. The agronomic management adopted by the Labet family firmly follows the dictates of organic and biodynamic agriculture, while in the cellar the approach is absolutely artisanal and non-interventionist. The Domaine's winemaking philosophy follows two currents: the traditional one at the base of the so-called "vin de voile" and the more innovative one for the area that gives rise to the "ouillé" wines, of which the Labets were among the greatest promoters. The first style, the traditional one, involves prolonged aging in overflowing wooden barrels under the veil of flor yeasts, during which the liquid acquires unique and complex oxidative aromas. Instead, the second style recalls that of nearby Burgundy, with aging taking place in small French oak barrels kept constantly full. Regardless of the style adopted, the vinification takes place with the whole bunch, the fermentations are always spontaneous and the barrels used are very old, so that the influence of the wood never prevails over the expression of the terroir.

In addition to the vin de voile and vin ouillé, produced mostly from single vineyards, Domaine Labet produces red wines, Cremant du Jura and several Macvin du Jura, traditional fortified wines made by adding aged brandy to fresh must. The bottles are then labeled with beautiful and colorful illustrations that recall the colorful soul of the wines they house.


Domaine Labet, Savagnin “En Chalasse” 2021
An exceptional cuvée of 100% Savagnin, on soils characterized by clay and blue marl of the Lias. A great wine, destined for slow development.
The Fleur de Savagnin en Chalasse has a fairly intense golden yellow color and releases a varied range of aromatic notes: with nuances of fruit and white flowers, but also notes of toasted almond, wax and sweet spices such as vanilla. This fragrant bouquet elegantly announces a rich and persistent palate, which reveals all its potential.

Domaine Labet, Cremant du Jura 2020
Cremant out of series that of the Maison. A hinted oxidative line interacts with a direct, fleshy, very lively sip. Creating a creamy and mineral mixture of winning pleasantness. We are very far from sugary drifts, rather it enters direct and impactful, enveloping the palate precise and abundant. Just enough time for a light, citron freshness to make its appearance, to accompany the sip until the end. Igniting the desire for a next one.


All wines come from a temperature-controlled cellar.

Bottles of first origin, never traveled.

I do not ship outside of Europe.
