2022 Henri Prudhon, La Chateniere Saint Aubin 1er Cru BlancA tiny parcel of about 1 10 of a hectare that sits on a very steep slope above the hamlet of Gamay facing southwest on clay and limestone soil. The vines are quite old (45 years). Effectively, this is a micro cuve as less than three barrels are produced annually (about 800 bottles); thus, the new oak exposure is highest here (one third). Perhaps the most classic wine of the appellation a pure bred!
