2023 Domaine Larue, Saint-Aubin, 1er Cru Murgers des Dents de Chien

Domaine Larue is a multi-generational family estate based in the village of Saint-Aubin, currently farmed by brothers Didier and Denis alongside nephew Bruno. Made from high-altitude plots situated directly above Chevalier-Montrachet, this premier cru is rooted in thin, extremely rocky limestone soils packed with jagged stones. Fermented in barrel with modest new oak and aged on its lees, the wine balances concentration with a taut, chalky structure. The 2023 growing season yielded a balanced, vibrant profile that highlights the site's intense mineral energy and bright fruit clarity. This bottle is well-suited for medium-term cellaring and offers exceptional depth for those exploring the top tier of the Côte de Beaune.
