Unlike his Burgundies, François Labet fully de-stems the fruit for this wine and then ages it two-thirds in tank and one-third in French oak before bottling. This is already open for business with ripe plum, spice and forest floor notes. On top of the sweet core of fruit there’s some Mediterranean garrigue, a hint of anise and a kiss of French oak spice. The bright, clean finish reflects the wine’s rocky, high country terroir with juicy tannins and snap of tangy acidity.
