Henri Prudhon born in Saint-Aubin in 1921, is at the origin of the estate. Son of a winegrower, he married in 1945. That is how the HENRI PRUDHON estate was born, from the wine-producing heritage that each spouse inherited from previous generations. Their second child Gérard, born in 1949, was fascinated by this wonderful craft and came back to work with his parents. In those days, the estate's harvest was mostly sold as grape must or wine to the region's wine merchants.In the early 80s, Gérard wanted to develop bottling and direct marketing activities, well aware of the quality potential the estate wines possessed. The operation grew with the acquisition of new plots in Saint-Aubin, followed by Chassagne Montrachet and Puligny Montrachet. More and more of the production was sold in bottles by the estate. Foreign markets took an interest in the Saint-Aubin appellation due to its proximity with the great Montrachet vintages and its reasonable prices. Nowadays, the domain is managed by Gérard's two children, Vincent and Philippe, who respectively hold a degree in wine marketing and oenology. They continue the work the previous generations began, by bottling new appellations, developing new markets, erecting a building dedicated to preparing orders, modernising the cellar and vineyard equipment, etc.
Henri Prudhon St Aubin Blanc, Sur Le Sentier du Clou 1er Cru 2023
13% abv
Vol- 75cl
north-east of the village. 5ha of 35-year-old vines. Clay and limestone, east-south-east exposure.
Pneumatic pressing, aged on lees in oak barrels, 25% new, for 12 months. Exposure to the rising sun produces a taut, precise wine with great character.
“Pretty and elegant aromas include those of just sliced pear and apple with fresh top notes of lemon-lime and acacia blossom. The rich and delicious medium-bodied flavors possess both good volume and sap while exuding a subtle minerality on the lingering, dry and citrus-inflected finale. This isn’t racy but neither is it plodding and overall, it should be capable of repaying 5 to 7 years of keeping.” 89 points, Burghound, June 2024
