BRUNO CLAIR MOREY-SAINT-DENIS 'EN LA RUE DE VERGY' BLANC 2019

Domaine Bruno Clair's mastery shines through this exceptional Morey-Saint-Denis "En la rue de Vergy" Chardonnay, where [ancient Jurassic limestone soils and Premeaux limestone subsoils] create the perfect foundation for this noble varietal. The southeast-facing vineyard at 320 meters elevation captures optimal sun exposure, while the mineral-rich terroir imparts distinctive chalky undertones that define Burgundian excellence. This golden-hued Chardonnay reveals an intensely mineral-driven profile with remarkable depth and persistence, offering [crisp green apple and wet stone aromatics] that evolve into [honeyed citrus and subtle vanilla notes] from careful oak maturation. The wine's extraordinary length and mineral backbone make it a quintessential expression of this prestigious Côte de Nuits commune.

Burghound: Admirably discreet wood surrounds the airy and cool aromas of green apple, orange peel and mineral reduction. The energetic and well-detailed middle weight flavors culminate in a chiseled, markedly dry and sneaky long finale. This is pretty much textbook En la Rue de Vergy.
