Variety:  100% Chardonnay
Sub-Appellation:  Saint-Aubain Premier Cru
Premier Cru: Murgers des Dents des Chiens
Region:  Burgundy, France
From Saint-Aubin’s greatest cru, Les Murgers sits at the highest point of the appellation on a solid limestone plateau with an impregnable view of the Côte d’Or below. Hike the trail above Chevalier-Montrachet to arrive at its heights. These are also the Larue family’s oldest vines. The intensity and concentration seem kicked up a substantial notch here.
