One of the most renowned growers in Jura, 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).

Les Varrons is made from an ancient massal selection of Chardonnay (including some melon à queue rouge) planted in 1932 and 1940 in decalcified, ochre-coloured clay over limestone.. With an extended élevage in old demi-muids, and prolonged bottle ageing in the Labet cellar, this 2016 library release has a very fine reduction on the nose, a vivid mineral streak and pithy, citrus fruits on the immense palate.

*Please note that due to very limited supply there is a maximum of 1 bottle of each Labet cuvée per client and/or order*
