Domaine Labet Cotes du Jura Chardonnay En Chalasse 2022 RFLASH energetic white that delivers seriousDomaine Labet built its reputation on single vineyard Chardonnays, and En Chalasse is one of the family's prized parcels in the southern Jura. Farmed organically and made in the topped up (ouille) style, this skips the nutty oxidative notes in favor of clarity and tension. Aged in barrel, it shows the cut and minerality that make Labet's whites a benchmark for what Jura Chardonnay can be. Precise, saline, and built to reward a few years in the cellar.
