Henri Prudhon, St. Aubin (Burgundy, France) 2010

Apr 22, 2015

By Michael Apstein

St. Aubin, an off the main road village in Burgundy, is known mostly for whites, which, because of recent popularity, has already resulted in considerable prices increase for those Chardonnay-based wines.  The reds, made exclusively from Pinot Noir, such as this one, remain relatively undiscovered–and therefore, reasonably priced.  I had this one recently at Aquitaine, a down-to-earth bistro in Boston, where its delicate mixture of fresh red fruits and subtle savory notes paired marvelously with roasted salmon.  Though immediately aromatic, it opened further during the meal with flavors dancing on the palate while lively acidity in the finish kept it fresh and you coming back for more.
