The 2022 Prosper Maufoux Meursault La Pièce Sous Le Bois Premier Cru is a distinguished white Burgundy from the renowned Meursault appellation in the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from the Premier Cru vineyard of La Pièce Sous Le Bois in the hamlet of Blagny, this Chardonnay reflects its high-altitude, limestone-rich terroir with impressive freshness, depth and mineral precision.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, creamy texture balanced by vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of yellow peach, citrus and ripe orchard fruit are layered with subtle spice, toasted almond and flinty minerality. Fourteen months in French oak barrels adds gentle richness and complexity, leading to a long, refined finish with excellent balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2022 Prosper Maufoux Meursault La Pièce Sous Le Bois Premier Cru is an excellent choice for lovers of classic white Burgundy with elegance and complexity. It pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or Comté cheese. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar over the next 7–10 years as it continues to develop additional depth and savoury character.
