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.
The general flavor profile of Chardonnay wines includes aromas of green apples, citrus fruits, peaches, and often tropical fruits. Depending on the winemaking process, Chardonnay can also exhibit notes of butter, vanilla, or toasted oak, especially when aged in barrels.
