DOMAINE LABBÉ SAVOIE, FRANCE

Founded in 1975 by brothers Roger and Mark Labbe. At the time, Roger was getting by on mixed farming. He and Marc and another brother worked the vines on the weekends, planting Appellation Controlee grapes. This 25-acre domaine is now run by their children, cousins Alexandra and Jerome, who took over from their fathers in 2004, and who have brought new passion to the work. The wines are fresh and mineral, and unusually good value.
