cassis-like fruit

only a small percentage of which are new

So often the so-called “orange wines” seem to stand alone

and it undergoes an additional stint in bottle before release—a purposeful delay which allows the variety’s youthful floral aromatics to subside a bit while its signature note of toast begins to emerge

and admirable concentration

Henri Prudhon & Fils Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 'Les Chambres' 2021 Bordeaux cassis-like fruitFrom a parcel of one third of a hectare in the heart of Chassagne on the eastern side. The vines are 45 years old and they sit with an east southeast exposure. The cuvaison is about two weeks long and the levage lasts for 15 to 18 months. Very little new oak is used. This is an assertive wine with strong scents and flavors that tend to the sous bois and leather animal; powerful with a solid backbone of tannins; a humble, honest and satisfying wine.
