  A Dr. John wine, definitely the wrong time. Tight, tannic, and fruit-deprived. With some air a little more red fruit and wet earth come out, but still withdrawn. I should know better than to open a 1er cru at 8, but thought maybe a St Aubin would be more open. C+ for current consumption.

  From 75cl, DIAM 5 closure, so either the producer doesn't expect this wine to last longer than 5 years after bottling or—like so many Burgundy producers—perhaps the main thing is to sell the wine, and who cares what the consumer finds in their glass. Thin ruby colour with brown and violet reflexes, looks quite mature. Aromatically closed. Some dilute inferior strawberry fruit and a hint of iron. Fleurie, perhaps? The entry a bit too sweet for the flaccid acidity and soft texture, so it ain't Beaujolais. Who buys this stuff, I mean, seriously, at this price point, when it is so inexpressive and unbalanced? But then, this isn't the first time I have asked myself that question about red Burgundy, sometimes costing 10 times as much as this depressing bottle. 84-85P

  It changes during the extended drink of a bottle. It's a shapeshifting wine, like Metis in a cup. It takes its time, too. My curiosity makes a splash on its surface, like that first dive of the summer into the lake. “Gimmee!” I scream silently, thirsty for olfactory symbolism. Cherry, certainly. Earth, most definitely. At first it refuses to flood my palate with copious richness. That’s the Prudhon way, and that’s what I like about it. Before long, the drink duly begins to accumulate emergent renderings of beauty and pastoral contentment. The tannins: fine, strapping, ripe-flavored (cocoa and blue fruit skin), and ready to dissolve into the sweetness of the fruit. The effect is a lofted sensation of cherries, plums, and blueberries. There’s nothing sticky or herbal here, just enthusiastic little arcs of ripe fruit that finish quietly, in a stately posture, governed by ripe twig spices. Drink only after 2025.

  Tasting at Domaine Henri Prudhon with Vincent Prudhon: PnP bottle. Stepping up in intensity and richness once more. I quite like this Pinot and think it's attractively proportioned in a lighter style with good depth of flavor. Long, savory, ethereal finish. 90 point potential.
