The soils in the region are crucial to the quality of the wines. Particularly in the renowned Clos de Vougeot, calcareous and clay soils define the terroir. These unique formations offer optimal conditions for cultivating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The old vines root deeply in these soil structures, imparting a characteristic minerality and complexity to the wines. The soils thus form the foundation for the outstanding Burgundy wines of Domaine Pierre Labet.
Pinot Noir, also known as Spätburgunder, is a noble red wine grape variety synonymous with elegance and refinement. Originally from Burgundy, Pinot Noir has gained global prominence. The grape produces wines with a characteristic lighter color and offers aromas of red berries, cherries, and occasional earthy notes. Whether in France, Germany, or New Zealand, Pinot Noir delights wine lovers with its delicate structure, soft tannins, and ability to subtly reflect terroir.
