Domaine Larue is based in Saint-Aubin, a small commune in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. The domaine produces white wines from Chardonnay, the primary grape variety of this part of Burgundy.

Saint-Aubin sits between the more celebrated villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, and its vineyard sites share similar limestone-rich soils and southeast-facing aspects. The appellation is known for producing mineral-driven white Burgundies with good aging potential, though often at more accessible price points than neighboring villages. Premier Cru vineyards here, such as Murgers des Dents de Chien, are classified for their distinct terroir characteristics and typically produce wines with good structure and complexity.

The current range focuses on Premier Cru white Burgundy from Chardonnay. These are dry, unoaked or subtly oaked wines typical of the region, showing the characteristic combination of orchard fruit, floral notes, and mineral precision that Saint-Aubin is recognized for.

Saint-Aubin is a wine appellation located in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, situated between the more famous villages of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The appellation was established in 1937 and covers vineyards in the communes of Saint-Aubin and Gamay. The village sits in a valley that extends westward from the main Côte d'Or escarpment, with vineyards positioned on both south and east-facing slopes.

The appellation's terroir consists primarily of limestone and marl soils typical of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards benefit from a continental climate with the moderating influence of the nearby hills. While both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are permitted, Chardonnay dominates the production, particularly in the Premier Cru vineyards. The appellation includes 29 Premier Cru climats, with notable sites like Les Charmois, Le Chatenière, and Murgers des Dents de Chien representing some of the finest expressions of the terroir.

Saint-Aubin Chardonnays typically display more minerality and restraint compared to their neighbors in Chassagne-Montrachet or Puligny-Montrachet. The wines often show citrus and white flower aromatics with a distinctive chalky minerality, reflecting the limestone-rich soils. Premier Cru bottlings tend to offer greater concentration and aging potential while maintaining the appellation's characteristic freshness and elegance.
