2023 Morey-Saint-Denis En La Rue De Vergy, Domaine Bruno Clair

This remarkable village lieu-dit sits directly above Clos de Tart, Clos des Lambrays, and Bonnes Mares, and the Clair parcel is an extension of their lauded Bonnes Mares plot. It’s hard to believe this isn’t a premier cru, really. Up here there is virtually no top soil at all, and the vines plunge straight into the limestone bedrock. The wine has abundant blackberry and wild strawberry aromas, tightly-wound tannins, and a fragrant energy.

Tasting notes

More ruby than crimson. Light aromatics compared to the Charmes. A little less concentration here, even a suggestion of singed limestone, more delicate fruits behind, medium length. The tannins seem a little firmer because the fruit has gone into its shell. This was more aromatic earlier, says Arthur. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024.
