In fact, Kermit Lynch describes it as the \u003cstrong\u003eLarue family’s favorite bottling of the 2024 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e, noting that this exceptionally rocky, well-drained site performed particularly well in the rainy 2024 growing season. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is one of Saint-Aubin’s most celebrated sites, sitting at the \u003cstrong\u003esouthern edge of the appellation beside Puligny-Montrachet\u003c\/strong\u003e, very close to the Montrachet grands crus. Larue farms five south-facing parcels at roughly \u003cstrong\u003e340 meters elevation\u003c\/strong\u003e, totaling 1.12 hectares. The soil is extremely thin and limestone-rich, with exposed rock forming the pointed “dog’s teeth” that give the climat its name. Some vines date back to \u003cstrong\u003e1946\u003c\/strong\u003e, with subsequent plantings in 1964, 1972, 1990 and 1997. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003e2024\u003c\/strong\u003e, expect a nose dominated by \u003cstrong\u003eflint, wet chalk, white flowers and citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, opening with air toward white-fleshed fruit and a subtle toasted note. The palate should be concentrated without feeling heavy: \u003cstrong\u003elemon, crisp pear and white peach\u003c\/strong\u003e wrapped around crushed limestone, with a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003esaline, stony tension\u003c\/strong\u003e carrying through a long, energetic finish. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is fermented in barrel and sees roughly \u003cstrong\u003e20% new oak\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by about \u003cstrong\u003e12 months on fine lees in barrel and another six months in temperature-controlled stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e.
