Wine tasting notes
The stoniness of the terroir shines through the sun-kissed fruit of the vintage offering notes of ripe lemons, acacia, stone fruit, slate and crushed rocks. Harmonious and full-flavoured yet with sufficient tension and poise. Fermented and aged in foudres and barriques, 20% new oak. A Chardonnay from Morey-St.-Denis is a rare thing, the vast majority of the commune being planted with Pinot Noir, but it can be exceptional, as this regularly is. A vineyard located just above Bonnes-Mares, En la Rue de Vergy is planted on poor, rocky limestone soils.
Expert reviews
The 2015 Morey Saint-Denis En la Rue de Vergy was missing some complexity on the nose, felt a little blowsy compared to the other white wines from Bruno Clair. The palate is balanced with good weight in the mouth, though the acidity feels a little low and it lacks bite on the finish.
