2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Sous le Puits”
Domaine LarueLarue's white Burgundies possess purity, energy, and invariable minerality. With holdings spread between the two villages of Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet, the Larues are meticulous and precise in all aspects of winegrowing and winemaking, and their wines reflect these qualities. The “Sous Le Puits” is sourced from parcels close to the hamlet of Blagny bordering the Meursault appellation, at the top of the hill of Puligny-Montrachet.

A beautiful Cadette rouge with a bit more structure and plenty of pleasure.
2021 Saint-Aubin Rouge “Les Eduens”

Even though the majority of Saint-Aubin is planted to Chardonnay, reds like Domaine Larue’s Les Eduens prove that the terroir here is also beautifully suited to Pinot Noir.

The high limestone content gives this Pinot plenty of spice and ripe cherry with great acidity and persistence.

About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
