Domaine Labet
Jura, France

Julien Labet’s white wines show a deep balance of crystaline finesse while never hiding the fact that they come from a more solar terroir compared to say, more northerly neighbors near Arbois. Labet’s wines are classy, and I’ve grown a much greater appreciation for them over the past few years for also remaining deeply natty. They’re the type of bottles to woo over a new love, or to share with your dubious family whom even after all of these years still don’t understand your love for natural wine, but will probably finish their glass of whatever you brought to dinner before you do at the table.
