2023 Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay

The Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune comes from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune appellation. The total area of vineyards in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune covers approximately 800 hectares, distributed across 30 municipalities. The terroir, particularly the climate, differs at the higher altitudes of the vineyards, ranging from 280 to 550 meters, resulting in precise wines whose character is becoming increasingly popular.

Immediately after the 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 is carried out at 10°C for 4 to 5 days. Alcoholic fermentation lasts between 18 and 20 days with daily maceration. The wine is then transferred to barrels, and malolactic fermentation is fully completed. The wine ages for 10 months in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, of which 20% are new oak barrels.

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