2020 Domain Labet 'En Chalasse' Fleur de Savagnin
Place: Jura, France
Variety: Savagnin
Farming: Organic
Domaine Labet is one of the benchmark estates of the southern Jura, run by siblings Julien, Romain and Charline Labet from their home in Rotalier. Farming organically and working across dozens of tiny parcels, their approach is thoughtful and remarkably site-driven, producing wines of purity, energy and distinctive Jura character.
Fleur de Savagnin En Chalasse is a beautifully textured expression of Savagnin, made in a fresh, topped-up style. Ripe pear, preserved lemon and white flowers are layered with almond, beeswax and gentle spice, while extended time on lees brings richness and depth. Bright acidity and a pronounced saline mineral line keep the palate energetic and focused, finishing long, savoury and wonderfully persistent.
