Henri Prudhon & Fils Saint-Aubin Rouge 1er Cru 'Cuvee Les Rouges-Gorges' 2020
From a total surface area of 0.7 hectares, this bottling blends parcels of 50-year-old vines in several different premier crus—one from the hill just above Gamay and one on the border of Saint-Aubin and Chassagne-Montrachet. It displays greater power and deeper fruit than Les Frionnes, yet is less formidably concentrated than Sur le Sentier du Clou. A classic wine of this sector with compelling notes of animal and wild berries. The élevage is about 18 months before bottling; again, very little new oak is used.
