Labouré-Roi Wines

Sort By:

Labouré-Roi 2009 La Futaille Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)

Cellar Selection

Price $42

No question that this is a wood-aged wine, with its raspberry fruit still under the strong influence of toast and spice. The fruit, though, is rich enough to balance the wine, its fruit tannins adding power and structure. Keep for 4–5 years. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Labouré-Roi 1998 Domaine Maroslavac Clos du Vieux Chateau White (Puligny-Montrachet)

Cellar Selection

Price $35

At first, the nose shows heady buttercream and custard notes; after a few minutes in the glass, the nose opens (and lightens up) to reveal luscious nut and pear aromas underneath. It's dense in the mouth, with luscious green apple, fresh-cut grass, spice and fresh herb flavors. The finish is so long that one reviewer noted that " it just keeps on going," with… — W.E.

Labouré-Roi 2009 Premier Cru Réserve Chardonnay (Montagny)

Online Exclusive

Price $28

Structured white fruits, this is a complex and concentrated wine. Toast, apple and apricot flavors are blended with herbs and intense acidity. Spice from the wood shows on the finish. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Labouré-Roi 2008 Les Chevaliers Chardonnay (Meursault)

Price $49

Full and buttery, as befits a Meursault, the wine also has a fine-textured acidity, spice and toast. It is rich, although with a crisp citrus edge that balances out the ripe melon and honey flavor. Ready to drink, but could age for a few years. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Labouré-Roi 2007 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)

Price $164

Corton-Charlemagne should have weight, and this wine has weight. It sits plumply in the glass, a big spice- and yellow fruit-flavored wine, layered with toast and ripeness. It is developing fast, but the lingering acidity does promise 4–5 years further progress. Imported by Palm Bay International. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Labouré-Roi 2008 La Futaille Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)

Price $42

A heavily oaked wine that needs time for the toast to integrate. It does have the black fruit structure to back it up, so expect this complex wine to develop pleasurably over the next 5–6 years. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Labouré-Roi 2009 Les Hauts Tours Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)

Price $42

A firmly tannic wine, the ripe fruit surrounded by a dry shell. It is already showing the firm chunky character of Nuits-St-Georges, with its dark plum and bitter cherry fruits well into the complex mix of flavors. Age for at least three years. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Labouré-Roi 2006 Les Hautes Tours Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)

Editors' Choice

Price $48

A big, muscular wine, powered with great rich wafts of black fruits, red plums and dense tannins. Maybe the wood element is just out of balance at this stage, giving a caramel flavor, but this should pass and the fruit and structure remain. One of a range of numbered, limited bottlings from Labouré-Roi. — R.V. (10/1/2009)
