Domaine Labruyère

Domaine Labruyère En Primeur 2022

Domaine Labruyère is the oldest estate in Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais, dating back to 1850. The original ten hectares have been added to over the years. The most significant acquisition was that of Le Clos du Moulin-à-Vent, the appellation’s only monopole, situated beside the iconic windmill.

Since 2008, the property has been run by Édouard Labruyère, the seventh generation. Édouard grew up at the domaine and now works alongside winemaker Nadine Gublin and cellar master Michel Rovere.

Five wines make up the core of the range: Bourgogne Gamay, Coeur de Terroir, Champ de Cour, Le Carquelin and Le Clos du Moulin-à-Vent.

 

The 2022 vintage wines of Domaine Labruyère will be released in February 2024.

BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR 2019

 This comes from five plots, just outside Pommard. Fresh red cherries and vanilla-cinnamon spice aromas. A joyously ripe palate of raspberry and strawberry fruit, succulent and crunchy, with a core of sweetness making for a sumptuously early drinking, approachable style. Lively and refreshing. 100% destemmed and vinified half in stainless steel, half in old oak barrels.

VOLNAY 2019

This wine comes from four plots, two purchased in 1995 and two in 2010, in the middle of the appellation: two in Les Lurets, one in Les Famines and another in Les Paux Bois. A delicate, pure berried nose of raspberry and roses, laced with winter spice. The palate is crisp and harmonious, with poised raspberry fruit and a rocky mineral aspect, with lingering blue-fruited perfume. 100% destemmed.

POMMARD 1ER CRU LES ARVELETS 2019

Les Arvelets is a 0.5 hectare south-facing sloping vineyard beside the domaine’s cuverie, whose red clay soils give high ripeness levels. Blackberry and blackcurrant on the nose, with nice undergrowthy aromas. The palate is pure-fruited, with blackberry and raspberry flavours delivering an impressive clarity of expression. Perfectly weighted, rich but with a sense of lightness, the fruit held in place by fine supporting tannins.
