2020 Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Sous Roche Dumay by Domaine Larue

Discover the epitome of Burgundian elegance with Domaine Larue’s Saint-Aubin Sous Roche Dumay Premier Cru Chardonnay 2020—a refined expression of terroir from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated appellations. Hailing from the renowned Saint-Aubin appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune region, this wine embodies the precision and complexity that define Premier Cru whites from this historic vineyard.

With its luminous golden-green hue and delicate effervescence upon swirling, this Chardonnay captivates from first glance. The aromatic profile opens with striking mineral intensity—notes of silex and gunflint intermingling with hints of citrus zest and stone fruit—that evoke the limestone-rich soils of its terroir. On the palate, a seamless balance of opulent texture and crisp acidity defines its character: plush Meyer lemon and ripe pear flavors are framed by a backbone of chalky minerality that lingers on the finish.

What truly sets this wine apart is its ability to harmonize power with grace—a hallmark of Domaine Larue’s meticulous winemaking philosophy. While its structured tannins lend versatility to cellar aging, its immediate appeal makes it an ideal choice for celebratory gatherings or intimate dinners featuring seafood bourguignon or creamy Camembert cheese pairings. For connoisseurs seeking a Burgundy white that embodies both tradition and modern finesse, this 2020 vintage offers an unforgettable expression of Saint-Aubin’s unique viticultural heritage at its most compelling.
