2021 Domaine Labet Chardonnay 'Les Varrons'

LEGENDARY, RARE CULT NATURAL WINE!!

100% certified organic Chardonnay coming from a parcel (Les Varrons) of  65-year-old vines from sélections massales. Complex soil combines Benthonien and Bajocien limestone and Eoolian clay. Aged for 17 months in used 228 liter wooden barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with no sulphur. Like most Labet wines, give this some air to let the reduction blow off.  Light to medium bodied and bone dry, with very high, electric acidity. Slightly oxidative aromas of bruised yellow apple, hay, struck match, citrus, apples and walnuts lead into a juicy, rich, layered palate with notes of grilled lemon, fresh cream, honey, peach, pineapple and salt. This is one of those wines that changes with every sip. Extraordinary, almost supernatural length  and texture in the mouth.
