Domaine Larue "Murgers des Dents de Chien" Saint-Aubin Premier Cru 2020

92 Points Wine Advocate

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, citrus oil and green apple mingled with white flowers and wet stones, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, chalky extract and a seamless profile, concluding with a penetrating finish. As I wrote last year, this cuvée derives from one hectare of holdings—some dating back to the 1950s-1960s, some younger—and sees a longer élevage than the domaine's other Saint-Aubin bottlings.
