Description
The Bourgogne Chardonnay "Elégance" is made from a selection of the best Chardonnays from the Côte Chalonnaise and the
Mâconnais whose clay-limestone soils express the full richness of the Chardonnay. The result is an authentic wine with impressive finesse
Immediately after harvest, the Chardonnay grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press and then it gets a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The must then goes directly into barrels where the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place maturation takes place for 10 months in stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels (20% new oak)
The Bourgogne Chardonnay Elégance is a perfect introduction to the most prestigious appellations of Burgundy, thanks to the selection of the best Chardonnays from the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais. This gives it a powerful woody note, a guarantee of extra quality. With a very charming nose, it releases aromas of citrus fruits and notes of exotic fruits. A delicious glass and of course great with Shellfish / Oysters / Seafood

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.
