Domaine Pierre Labet Beaune Clos du Dessus des Marconnets Blanc 2016
Domaine Pierre Labet farms this walled parcel in northern Beaune, on the border with Savigny-lès-Beaune. Chardonnay grows on limestone-rich soils, giving the wine its structure and lift. Fermentation and aging take place in French oak, with a restrained use of new barrels to keep the style focused.
The 2016 shows citrus, pear, and light floral notes, with a mineral line and gentle oak in the background. The palate is clean, with good tension and a long, savory finish.
