EXCLUSIVE PRODUCER
Domaine Pierre Labet
Domaine Pierre Labet dates before 15th century Beaune, when the domaine buildings lay on the city ramparts. 600 years later, François Labet’s grandfather was mayor of Beaune between the two world wars.
During this period, the holdings began to be expanded. Domaine Pierre Labet was founded in its current form by François’ father.
Now, the domaine owns 10 hectares of vineyards in Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune, Meursault and Gevrey-Chambertin.
Given the geographical distance between Domaine Pierre Labet’s holdings, François and Édouard have an operational hub in Beaune, a seven-person vineyard team and two permanent cellar hands, with another two during vinification.
Château de la Tour, established in 1890, was passed down from François Labet’s mother’s family and is the largest proprietor of the Clos Vougeot.
Region
Burgundy
Burgundy’s wine industry complexity and tremendous diversity are the result of geological accident. Centuries ago, faulting tore the great valley apart, easing the passage of the nearby Saône River.
