Prosper Maufoux Chablis White Wine 750ml

Prosper Maufoux Chabli white wine is a creamy, toasty style of Chablis, this is smooth while still keeping a touch of steely acidity. The wine is ripe and open.

Pale gold color. A sustained nose with flinty and stony notes. Elegant with aromas and flavors of white stone fruit & minerals supported by citrusy acidity. Food Pairing: Poultry, roasted fish and dishes featuring cream sauces and softer cheeses.

Nose of baked apple, pear, straw, pineapple and a suggestion of struck match/gunpowder (which will fade with air). The taste is crisp and zesty, but not overly acidic as I thought it might be. The texture is pretty soft, in a good way. Quite a difficult balancing act, I think; crisp/zest vs soft and supple.

As one of the most northern communes in Burgundy, Chablis makes the most of 150 million-year-old Jurassic base rock. The sea that covered Burgundy at that time left behind it a plethora of oyster fossils that can still be seen in the rock today. This limestone-marl gives both our CHABLIS and CHABLIS 1ER CRU very original minerality and finesse, which beautifully combines sumptuousness and complexity of aromas and flavours. Their international reputation is legitimate. So we take very particular care in making sure that we give these wines the apposite vinification in barrels to allow their unique personalities to come through. Enjoy young for a ‘Village’ appellation or savour our 1er Crus after a little more cellaring (5 to 10 years).
