DOMAINE BRUNO CLAIR MOREY-SAINT-DENIS 'EN LA RUE DE VERGY' 2022

Whole-bunch inclusion — 10 to 20 percent — gives Bruno Clair's 2022 En la rue de Vergy its structural backbone before aging 18 to 20 months in oak with roughly 30 percent new. The 0.54-hectare parcel sits at approximately 320 meters on the upper slopes of Morey-Saint-Denis, Pinot Noir planted in 1980 on Premeaux limestone and white oolites with a southeast aspect. That altitude and calcium-rich geology push mineral lift through aromas of red and black fruit into a powerful, complex frame. Lay down five years minimum.
