About the wine  Made from a Bajocian limestone base and low yields from a tiny parcel massal selected and planted in 1983. It was aged in old barrels for seven months and bottled off with less than 7mg/l of total sulphur. The fruit has a sculpted quality, it’s floral with zesty cherries and salinity with incredible finesse.

Located close to the limestone cliff that forms the eastern edge of the region, the soil in the Sud-Revermont is quite different from the north around Arbois, as it’s rich in Bajocian limestone eroded from the cliff, imparting the wines with a mineral bite and acidic backbone that sets them apart.

About the makers  One of the most sought-after growers in the Jura region, Domaine Labet is located in Rotalier in the Sud-Revermont. In the late 1970s Alain Labet was probably the first vigneron in the Jura to make and bottle wines from individual terroirs separately. And in the 1990s when he started making topped-up whites, there were only one or two winemakers making wines this way elsewhere in the Jura (Pierre Overnoy in Arbois being foremost). Nowadays we have his three children, Julien, Charline and Romain, instilling their own vision and even more precision and terroir definition into their wines.
