Why this wine
High-altitude Chardonnay from the Hautes-Côtes, where cool north-west facing slopes and a wide day-night swing keep the acidity that warmer sites lose. Fermented and aged ten months in barrel, so there is genuine texture without heaviness. White Burgundy with the structure to reward a few years in the rack.

How it tastes
Citrus fruit and floral notes lift first, with toasted spice from the barrel sitting behind them. The palate is rich and textured, mineral rather than buttery, and a saline note stretches out a long, sustained finish. Chardonnay 100%.
The producer
Maison Prosper Maufoux was founded in 1860 by a notary who left the profession to make wine, and passed in 2010 to the Piffaut family, whose Burgundian roots run back more than two hundred years; the house is now based at the Château de Saint-Aubin, with nine hectares in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. The fruit comes from the Petits Charmeaux and Chataigniers parcels at 380 metres, where twelve-year-old Guyot-trained vines face north-west on clay-limestone soil and a wide day-to-night temperature swing holds the acidity in place. Whole bunches were pressed straight after harvest, the juice settled 24 hours at 12°C, and both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations ran in barrel; the wine then spent ten months in lightly toasted French oak, a fifth of it new, with no racking. The estate is certified HVE Level 3.
