Fleur de Savagnin 2023 from Domaine Labet is one of the most sought-after and iconic white wines of the Jura region. With this wine, the Labet siblings have effectively reinterpreted traditional Savagnin, the flagship grape variety of the area.

This cuvée is crafted by blending 5 historic micro-parcels planted between 1947 and 2016. The soils consist of clay and Lias blue marl, which imbue the wine with a sharp, deep minerality.

The "Fleur de..." line indicates that the wine is ouillé (topped up). The barrels are constantly refilled to prevent contact with oxygen, resulting in a fresh, clean wine driven by fruit and terroir.

On the palate, it strikes you with a fascinating contrast: the attack is rich and almost buttery, but it is immediately balanced by a sharp acidity and a near-saline mineral sapidity. The finish is incredibly long and tense.

From the producer

Domaine Labet

Domaine Labet is a small family business located in Rotalier, in the southern part of the Côtes du Jura appellation. 13 hectares of vineyard with vines that come from old mass selections, more than 1/3 of which are over 60 years old, with a very low production of 20 to 40 hl/ha.

Here, Alain Labet in the late 1980s was one of the first vigneron of the Jura to produce Ouillé white wines (like Pierre Overnoy), i.e. wines that are topped up during ageing and made in a more modern style in which oxidation is prevented. The Labet wines made in this style belong to the 'Fleurs' line. The aim with this line is to convey an original expression of the vine, grape, terroir and climate, which is why the Fleurs are vinified in separate plots.

The choice of first Alain and later his son Julien arose from the need for more territorial, precise and well-defined whites. This small revolution has led many other producers to use this method and to make the Jura area a hotbed of extraordinary white wines.
