Labet, legendary winery

Domaine Labet from Rotalier , in the south of the Jura (Sud-Révermont) is one of the very best Jura wine producers . This small wine region, east of Burgundy, is relatively unknown. Now Jura wines, especially from the better winemakers, are very popular worldwide .

Jura, a wine region rich in tradition

The Jura is a relatively small wine region: around 2000 ha. Yet it has a very old tradition of wine making. Even with a great variety of styles. The traditional style is oxidative, more or less as known from sherry and madeira. The wine barrels are not filled to the brim, so that air can get in. The label often says 'Tradition' .

Close to nature

Domaine Labet used to make wines in the classic style. Nowadays more and more natural wine (actually that is even more classic of course). Labet works completely organically with a separate line biodynamic and vin nature . Julien learned at Domaine Ramonet in Chassagne-Montrachet and Hamilton Russell Winery in South Africa (both very good wineries).

Labet wines are world-renowned and sought-after, and are mainly sold on allocation.
