Domaine Pierre Labet, Beaune Clos du Dessus des Marconnets Blanc, Burgundy, France, 2020

Overview of the Wine
The origin of the Domaine dates back to the 15th Century in Beaune, the epicenter of the Burgundy wine region. The headquarters of the estate are located in the Bastion Notre Dame, a fortification which was built in 1642 on the battlements surrounding the city of Beaune.

The Labet family, who as been deeply rooted in Beaune for 500 years, owns 25 Acres of vineyards from Meursault to Gevrey-Chambertin; the main holdings of the Domaine being Beaune Appellations near Chorey-Les-Beaune and Savigny Les Beaune.

Francois Labet has been at the helm since 1984 and the vineyards are organically farmed. There are no clones as only massale selection is used, mainly from the Beaune Coucherias vines. The entire vinification and barrel ageing takes place at Chateau de La Tour, with the same care and by the same team that produces their famed Clos-Vougoet wines. A whole bunch philosophy has been used since 1987 and the wines are aged using custom made barrels from fine-grained oak with a very light toast. This uniqueness contributes to steer the greatness of the wines produced for each vintage of Domaine Pierre Labet.
