About the wine Chardonnay from 4 parcels, planted on decalcified clay on limestone base between the years of 1949 and 1979. This cuvée is a blend of the Bajocian parcels that gave it its name. Each plot was vinified and raised separately before blending.
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.
