Domaine Pierre Labet
Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Village red

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 (N. Martin): 85-87/100 "The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has a light and slightly tertiary bouquet with brambly red berry fruit and a touch of rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with a sharp entry, nicely balanced but just missing some flesh and substance towards the finish. At the moment this is lagging behind the other cuvées."
