From a small south-southeast-facing parcel on the hills south of Saint-Aubin village, Les Castets displays the regional style of stone-rich clay and limestone soils. Fifteen-year-old vines on this 30-are site yield a focused Chardonnay aged 12 months in 25% new oak, grounded and mineral-driven yet approachable. The Castets climat represents exceptional value in the 1er Cru category, offering the finesse and complexity of older Burgundy terroirs without excessive oak influence.

More about Henri Prudhon

Saint-Aubin sits tucked behind Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet — close enough to share their soils and hillsides, different enough to have spent decades flying under the radar. Prudhon is the domaine that best embodies what that location can do. Henri Prudhon was born here in 1921, married in 1945, and combined the couple's inherited vineyard plots to form the estate. His son Gérard made the pivotal decision in the early 1980s to start bottling and selling directly rather than selling off to négociants. Grandsons Vincent and Philippe run it today.

The domaine now encompasses 14.5 hectares across Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Puligny-Montrachet, with eight white premiers crus in Saint-Aubin alone — one of the broadest and most coherent representations of the appellation anywhere. The vines are farmed without herbicides or chemical fertilizers. In the cellar, the approach is unrushed and minimally interventionist: pneumatic pressing, barrel fermentation with cool, extended lees aging, very little new oak. The wines are ultra-pure and classically structured. They taste of where they're from, not of how they were made.

Neal Rosenthal has imported Prudhon's wines from the very first vintage they bottled, and the partnership has never missed a year. Allen Meadows of Burghound has called them perhaps the most underrated producer in all of Burgundy. The wines remain remarkably priced for what they are — which, for anyone paying attention, is exactly the point.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

This parcel is a mere 1/3 of an hectare of vines planted two decades ago. The vineyard is in the southwestern part of the village on a hillside slope overlooking the town and facing east-southeast. Elevage in barrel for the Les Castets is twelve months with about 25% new oak being used during that period. The wine is particularly rich and fruity perhaps without some of the complexity of the cuvées from parcels situated farther east.
