Domaine Labet, Cremant Rose, 2022 SO110421_Bordeaux_Sale and a salinePinot Noir has deep roots in the Jura the region faces Burgundy across the valley and shares plenty of the same Jurassic limestone and marl and Domaine Labet turns theirs into a rose Cremant that lands about as far from poolside frivolity as pink bubbles can get. It's light bodied and completely dry, built on tension rather than sweetness: wild strawberry and red currant, a chalky snap, a fine persistent bead. The Labet family farms small parcels
