"The Prudhon’s vines in Sur le Sentier du Clou are thirty-six years of age and the 2011 is a lovely wine in the making, with the southeasterly exposition here giving lovely minerality and cut in this elegant vintage. The wine jumps from the glass in a very expressive, but youthful mélange of pear, orange, chalky soil tones, a touch of citrus peel and a gentle base of vanillin oak., On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure and elegant, with a fine core, ripe acids, lovely focus and excellent length and grip on the soil-driven and nicely reserved finish. This will need a couple of years to really blossom and will be an excellent wine." Vinous.com |
