Domaine Pierre Labet
Beaune Coucherias 1er cru rouge

François Labet, owner of Château de la Tour in Vougeot, manages the family estate (10 ha in Beaune and Gevrey) with equal talent. He applies the same quality principles: organic farming, non-éraflée harvesting, long ageing (two winters minimum). Far from being the most talked-about domaine, but a wise choice for connoisseurs, according to Bourgogne Aujourd'hui: "to be seized as a matter of urgency, as the quality of the wines has been so consistent for a very long time".

Vinous (January 2025): 89-91/100 “Beaune Les Coucherias 1er Cru 2023 comes from a south-facing parcel (according to Labet, the name comes from the words ‘raide’ and ‘buissons’). Half of this parcel was replanted in 2020. Another highly perfumed bouquet offers fruits such as raspberry and wild strawberry with lovely delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red fruit, a little compact on the mid-palate, with gentle grip and an easygoing finish. Fine.”
