We were fortunate to grab these bottles from the Prudhon family, who have deep ties to the village of Saint Aubin - for a close study in the full range of terroir expression that can be achieved in a niche area, look no farther than this domaine. Both offerings here are rich and complex; "Les Perrieres" plot has intensely stony soil and is the more mineral of the two; "Sur Gamay" is distinct and deep, with a honeyed character that given a few years will be shining. Insane value.
