One of the most renowned growers in Jura, Domaine Labet is located in Rotalier in the Sud-Revermont. In the late 1970s Alain Labet was probably the first vigneron in the Jura to make and bottle wines from individual terroirs separately, and in the 1990s when he started making topped-up whites, there were only one or two winemakers making wines this way elsewhere in the Jura (Pierre Overnoy in Arbois being foremost).

The La Reine is rouge is Gamay from 2 parcels, one planted in 1963 and the other in 2016, aged in 228 litre Burgundy barrels for 8 months.
