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.

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

Like the Perrieres in white, the Frionnes in red was the first of the 1er Cru Saint Aubins to be bottled for sale directly from the domaine in the early 1980s. The vines are from a one hectare parcel on a hillside vineyard situated between Saint Aubin and Gamay. The vine age is 50 years on average and the exposure is east-southeast. The Prudhons give this intensely fruity wine less aging in barrel (virtually no new oak) and bottle this cuvée just prior to the next year’s harvest.
