The soils in the region are crucial for the quality of the wines. Particularly in the renowned Clos de Vougeot, the terroir is shaped by limestone and clay soils. These unique formations provide optimal conditions for cultivating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The old vines root deeply in these soil structures, imparting the wines with characteristic minerality and complexity. Thus, the soils 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 that stands for elegance and refinement. Originally from Burgundy, Pinot Noir has gained worldwide significance. The grape produces wines with a characteristic lighter color and offers aromas of red berries, cherries, and occasional earthy nuances. Whether in France, Germany, or New Zealand, Pinot Noir delights wine enthusiasts with its fine structure, gentle tannins, and the ability to subtly reflect terroir.
