John Gilman - View from the Cellar
"As I observed last year, the St. Aubin villages bottling is the largest of the Prudhon white wine holdings, with a bit over two and a half hectares of vines contributing to the cuvée, with the vine age ranging from ten to sixty years of age. The Prudhon parcels are on the slopes below the premier crus, rather than on the flat parts of the villages level vineyards, which adds to the quality here. The 2011 AC is an excellent wine in the making and a stunning value, offering up a refined bouquet of pear, a touch of white peach, orange zest, white flowers and a lovely base of chalky minerality. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and elegant, with a fine core of fruit, crisp acids and impressive length and grip on the beautifully balanced and zesty finish. This is awfully high class white Burgundy for its tariff! 2014-2025+."
