The 2020 Domaine Labet Côtes du Jura Poulsard Sur Charrière comes from a producer with a fascinating history in the Jura region. Domaine Labet, a family business in Rotalier, was among the first to champion the 'Ouillé' method (topped-up, non-oxidative winemaking) in the late 1980s, a departure from the traditional oxidative style of Jura. Julien Labet, who trained at Burgundy's Domaine Ramonet, now leads the estate, focusing on organic viticulture, minimal sulfur use, and single-plot fermentation and bottling to express the unique terroir of his largely 60+ year-old vines. 【Pioneering non-oxidative Jura winemaking with laser-like clarity and single-plot expression】 This Poulsard typically presents a pale color, with an aromatic profile of pomegranate, wild strawberry, and peony, sometimes accented by a hint of anise. On the palate, it is light yet not thin, characterized by powdery tannins and a remarkable ability to sustain sips. The 2020 vintage is expected to be fine, juicy, and precise, never lacking in character. Food pairing suggestions: This light-bodied red Poulsard is incredibly versatile. It pairs wonderfully with charcuterie boards, light poultry dishes like roasted chicken or turkey, and various gratins. Its fresh acidity also makes it a great match for freshwater fish or even some lighter mushroom-based dishes. Event suggestions: A delightful and straightforward wine, perfect for casual gatherings with friends, a relaxed weekend lunch, or as an intriguing aperitif. Its unique Jura character offers an interesting discovery for wine enthusiasts looking beyond the mainstream.
