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 Rouge Les Rouges-Gorges 1er Cru 2023
13% abv
Vol- 75cl
1 plot on the hill above Gamay and 1 plot between Saint-Aubin and Chassagne Montrachet of 40 to 60 years. Clay and limestone, south-west and south-east exposure.
Vatted for 10 to 12 days, aged in oak barrels (very few new). Bottled after 15 to 18 months.
It combines the strengths of various terroirs. The crisp fruit aspect rubs elbows with the animal-leather aspect in a very distinctive harmony.
” The succulent and more refined middleweight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the youthfully austere, balanced and sneaky long finale that is just a bit more structured. This well-made if moderately compact effort should repay mid-term keeping.” 89-91 points, Burghound.com, Apr 2024
