Domaine Labet Savagnin Sur Charrière Macération

£90.00

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).

A macération wine from Labet made from Savagnin vines planted in 1991 and 1993 in clay and blue marl soils. The grapes were left on skins for 10 months and aged in a combination of amphora and concrete eggs.
