The 2020 Prosper Maufoux Saint-Aubin Clos du Château Premier Cru is a refined white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grown in the Premier Cru vineyards of Saint-Aubin in the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from vineyards beneath the Château de Saint-Aubin, this wine reflects the appellation's limestone-rich soils with impressive freshness, minerality and understated elegance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture balanced by vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of white peach, pear and preserved lemon are layered with subtle notes of toasted almond, fresh brioche and wet stone minerality. Careful maturation in French oak adds gentle richness without overwhelming the fruit, leading to a long, precise finish with excellent balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2020 Prosper Maufoux Saint-Aubin Clos du Château Premier Cru is an excellent choice for lovers of classic white Burgundy with purity, finesse and depth. It pairs beautifully with grilled lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or soft-ripened cheeses. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar confidently over the next 7–10 years as it develops additional complexity and savoury nuance.
