Henri Prudhon, Saint-Aubin Rouge 1er Cru Les Frionnes, 2023
The first red 1er Cru bottled directly from Domaine Prudhon in the early 1980s, Les Frionnes marks the beginning of the domaine's bottling legacy. From a one-hectare parcel on the hillside between Saint-Aubin and Gamay with 50-year-old vines and east-southeast exposure, this wine exemplifies Prudhon's philosophy: total destemming, spontaneous fermentation for 10-12 days, less than 10% new oak over 15-18 months. Rich and full-bodied yet expressing the raciness and brightness characteristic of Saint-Aubin, it balances concentration with terroir-loyal restraint.
