The Character

Tasting Notes With honey and spiced apples on the nose, there is plenty of weight on the palate and white peach fruit. It is mineral, juicy with great tension and a lovely, sweet finish.
Pairings Stinky Cheese, Roast White Meats, Crunchy Greens, Fried Food

The Story

2021’s devastating April frost made it impractical for the Prudhons to bottle separately five of their usual premier crus: Les Castets, Sur le Sentier du Clou, En Remilly, La Chatenière, and Murgers des Dents de Chien. Named “Cuvée Frisson d’Avril” (“April’s shivers”), this is a successful one-off emblem of a painfully difficult year, offering impressive depth and richness and a penetrating calcareous through-line.

About Prudhon

Producer Story

The domaine was established by Henri Prudhon who was born and raised as a vigneron in the village of Saint Aubin since his birth in 1921. He and his wife, Marguerite, combined forces upon their marriage in 1945, putting their small vineyard holdings together to form the Domaine Henri Prudhon. Monsieur Prudhon was a force in his village, serving for many years as the Mayor of this lovely hamlet set just to the west of Puligny and Chassagne along Route Nationale 6. Their son, Gerard, born in 1949, joined the family enterprise and it was Gerard who decided, in the early years of the 1980s, to begin bottling the wines of the estate rather than selling off the fruits of their labors to the local negociants.
