Alain Labet largely pivoted away from making wines in the Jura tradition of sous-voile (ageing wines under a veil of yeast cultures) to focus on the more familiarly Burgundian style of ouillé (where barrels are kept topped up to avoid oxidation). This is Chardonnay brimming with briny yellow fruits.
Alain Labet is one of the unsung heroes of Jurassic wine. As one of the area’s first winemakers to concentrate on vinifying wines from individual sites (alongside the likes of Pierre Overnoy) he set a standard that his children Julien, Charline and Romain, who he handed control of the estate to in the early 2000’s have followed and perhaps, even managed to exceed.
