The Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune comes from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune appellation. The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune vineyards cover approximately 800 hectares, spread across 30 communes. The terroir, and particularly the climate, varies according to the higher altitude of the vineyards, ranging from 280 to 550 meters, resulting in distinctive wines whose character is increasingly sought after.

Immediately after manual harvest, the grapes are sorted, destemmed, and then gently transported on a conveyor belt into the vat without pumping. Before fermentation, a cold maceration takes place at 10°C for 4 to 5 days. Alcoholic fermentation lasts between 18 and 20 days with daily immersion. The wine is then barreled and placed in vats, where malolactic fermentation is complete. The wine ages for 10 months in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, 20% of which are new.

The Prosper Maufoux Hautes Côtes de Beaune has a pale gold color. It reveals aromas of citrus, candied fruit, and floral notes. On the palate, it is generous and powerful, with subtle woody and mineral notes typical of its partial barrel aging. The finish has a lovely acidity and liveliness. Delicious with baked cod with spicy chili.

Prosper Maufoux was founded by its name bearer in 1860 in Santenay, in the south of the Côte d'Or, where it remained in the hands of the Maufoux family for almost a century and a half in 1994. In 1860, Prosper Maufoux, a notary by profession, left his office to devote himself to his passion for wine. He founded his own house in Santenay, a Burgundian village in the south of the Côte d'Or, in the heart of the vineyards. His son Cyprien looked beyond the borders and brought Prosper Maufoux wines to the tables of England, the Netherlands, and the United States. He created a culture of openness to the world at home. The takeover in 2010 by Eric Piffaut resulted in significant investments in the winery, which resulted in a huge increase in quality. Prosper Maufoux is currently housed in the Château de Saint-Aubin, where there is plenty of room to guarantee the qualities achieved for the future. Towards the great growth in the south of the Côte de Beaune, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, between Chassagne and Puligny, and the immediate vicinity of Montrachet.
