John Gilman - View from the Cellar
"The premier cru of les Perrières in St. Aubin lies just down slope and with the same southeasterly exposition as Sur le Sentier du Clou. The Prudhons own just over a half hectare of thirty-five year-old vines here, which they choose to raise in twenty percent new wood. The 2010 les Perrières is superb, with even a touch more elegance on both the nose and palate as the above wine, offering up a very fine bouquet of apple, pear, a touch of orange zest, very refined, chalky soil tones, a deft touch of vanillin oak and a floral topnote redolent of orange blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bdoied, pure and beautifully balanced, with a fine core of silky fruit, crisp acids and excellent length and grip on the focused and very pure finish. This is a beautiful example of St. Aubin. 2017-2035."

"In contrast to the exotic nose of the Sentier, this is ultra-pure and restrained with a cool nose of lemon rind, essence of pear and extract of liquid rock that very clearly underscores how the vineyard acquired its name. There is equally impressive purity to the transparent and highly vibrant middle weight flavors that terminate in a cool, focused and mildly austere finish. This understated effort is altogether lovely."
