LABBÉ & FILS 'Brut Tradition'

This bottle represents the harmonious baseline of brothers Jérôme and Damien Labbé’s multi-generational estate. It is a traditional blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from over 40 individual Premier Cru plots across Chamery, Vrigny, and Coulommes-la-Montagne. To anchor the house style with deep consistency, Jérôme weaves in a heavy amount of perpetual reserve wines that have been gently aged in seasoned oak barrels, giving this entry-level bottle a serious structural foundation.

Why we love it: The barrel-aged reserve wines give it a gorgeous, comforting base of toasted brioche, warm honey, and a touch of almond tart. But because it is packed with fresh black-grape fruit from the Marne Valley, it stays incredibly energetic, bursting with bright lemon zest, fresh peach, and a soft, easy-drinking mousse that keeps every single sip feeling light and clean.

The vibe: You're in an cab home from the airport after a long week of travel. You order a Banh Mi sandwich to be delivered right as you walk in the door and pop this bottle to decompress.
