Description
Across Burgundy’s regional appellation, Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021 is a French red made entirely from Pinot Noir and sourced from a blend of terroirs in the Côte d’Or, Saône-et-Loire, and Yonne. Prosper Maufoux was founded in Santenay in 1860 and is now based at Château de Saint-Aubin, where the house operates within the Famille Piffaut group under Aurélien Piffaut. The broader estate structure includes Côte de Beaune holdings and sustainably managed Burgundian vineyards, though producer material for this wine does not identify specific parcels, altitudes, or exposures. Regional Bourgogne Pinot Noir draws on limestone, clay-limestone, and marl-influenced sectors across Burgundy, with sourcing intended to represent the wider appellation rather than a single village site. The 2021 wine is aged in vats, emphasizing direct regional Pinot Noir interpretation without barrel-led élevage. This cuvée sits within Prosper Maufoux’s work as a Bourgogne-level expression alongside the house’s village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru selections.
