The Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes is drawn from south-facing parcels in Beaune and Chorey-les-Beaune planted in 1955 (now around 70 years old) from the estate's own massale selection. The result is a Bourgogne that drinks well above its appellation tier — fine, refined, and uncompromisingly natural in approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eViticulture \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beaune (North) and Chorey-les-Beaune, south-facing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Planted 1955 — 70-year-old vines on Bourgogne tier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMassale selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir from estate's own selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay and gravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAverage yield:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 hl\/ha\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic and biodynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual, sorted on vibrating table\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-thirds whole-bunch in open vats (little destemming), indigenous yeasts, no added sulfur, barefoot punch-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 months in oak barrels (35% new oak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Racked and bottled without filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlowing purple in the glass.

Centred on the Côte d'Or — the narrow east-facing escarpment running from Dijon south to Maranges — viticulture is divided into the Côte de Nuits (sources of the most structured, age-worthy reds such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges) and the Côte de Beaune (home to Pommard, Volnay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Beaune). Further south the Côte Chalonnaise — home to Mercurey — offers Pinot Noir of comparable craft at a fraction of Côte d'Or pricing. Soil composition shifts metre by metre — limestone, marl and clay — creating the famous mosaic of climats that define each appellation. Burgundian Pinot Noir remains the worldwide reference for the variety: perfumed, savoury, structured and capable of decades of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/burgundy\"\u003eBrowse all Burgundy, France Pinot Noir →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Pierre Labet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46886731907230,"sku":null,"price":114.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/0659\/0268\/files\/domaine-pierre-labet-bourgogne-pinot-noir-vieilles-vignes.webp?v=1782892113","url":"https:\/\/finepinot.com.au\/products\/domaine-pierre-labet-bourgogne-pinot-noir-vieilles-vignes-2022","provider":"Fine Pinot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
