"The fine lieu à dit of les Enseignères is one of the most important parcels in the Prudhon portfolio, as the domaine owns two plots of vines here that add up to nearly a full hectare. One section is in thirty year-old vines, and the other parcel is fully eighty years of age. This lieu à dit is of course best-known for the fine bottling produced here by Domaine Coche-Dury. The Prudhons raise their Enseignères in twenty percent new wood. The 2011 Enseignères from the domaine is a stunning example of this fine terroir, offering up a deep and very classy bouquet of apple, white peach, a touch of orange, a lovely base of chalky soil tones, apple blossoms, hints of iodine and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and complex, with excellent mid- palate depth, impressive cut and grip and a very long, focused and refined finish. This is stellar juice in the making. 2015-2035."

"There is gunflint character to the otherwise floral and white orchard fruit suffused nose. I very much like the sense of underlying tension to the very vibrant, cool and pure middle weight flavors that possess a refined mouth feel while finishing with excellent depth and length for a villages level wine. This will be one to strongly consider."
