Domaine Pierre Labet is the family estate of François Labet, better known as president of Château de la Tour in Clos de Vougeot. Founded by his father Pierre, the domaine farms a small collection of village and Premier Cru parcels across Beaune, Savigny and Meursault, working organically with low yields and a deeply traditional touch in the cellar.
Les Tillets is a lieu-dit perched in the cooler, higher reaches of Meursault, planted on stony limestone soils that produce wines of bright cut and refined fruit rather than the buttery weight sometimes associated with the village. Hand-picked Chardonnay is whole-bunch pressed and slowly aged in barrel with extended lees contact, with very modest new oak.
The 2022 is pale gold in the glass, with a clear and inviting bouquet of ripe pear, green apple and acacia blossom layered over a touch of toasted bread and chalk. The palate is fresh and lively, with silky texture, fine acid drive and a long, saline finish that captures the cooler character of the site.
