Deep red and blue fruit meets leather and earth in a tension that shouldn't work but absolutely does — cherry, raspberry, mineral, and a savory animal undercurrent. 100% Pinot Noir blended from several tiny Premier Cru parcels across Saint-Aubin, 40-60 year old vines on clay-limestone with mixed southwest and southeast exposures. 15-18 months in oak, virtually no new wood. Roughly 350 cases produced. Sustainably farmed. "Rouges Gorges" means European robins — the red-breasted birds that nest in these hillside vineyards. This is the Prudhons' multi-terroir cuvée, combining the strengths of different Premier Cru sites into one wine. Where Les Frionnes is a snapshot of a single place, this is the whole village in a glass. Pair with a tagine, soy-braised short ribs, or smoked tofu with black bean sauce.
