Notes on the Winemaker: Domaine Labet is one of the most sought after names in the Jura. This is in part down to the unique soils in Le Sud - Revermont, the region in which most of the parcels  of vines are located. The family is renowned for its focus on producing ouielle wines (topped up, not-oxidative) from single plots of Chardonnay that reflect their terroir with amazing precision.
