Domaine Labruyère Moulin-à-Vent Champ de CourV

Wine Notes

Domaine Labruyère is Moulin-à-Vent’s oldest estate, founded in 1850. It consists of 14 hectares of vines, all in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation and produces stunning, age-worthy wines which not only represent a pinnacle of what is happening in the region, but also offer some of the best value in the world of fine wine. Champ de Cour comes from fermenting whole bunches. The resulting wine has an attractively herbaceous, lifted style, sometimes described as ‘sappy’. The grape stems can also impart an exotic spice character. Assertive red berries on the nose, with an impressive intensity and yet a perfumed, tea leaf playfulness. Supple and malleable on the attack, with a tannic drive making itself felt on the mid-palate. The tannins are rigorous but wholly integrated, even at this early stage.
