2022 Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Pinot Noir

The 2022 Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Pinot Noir is a vibrant, finely crafted red Burgundy that captures the fresh, high-altitude character of the Hautes-Côtes. Offering exceptional value from one of Burgundy’s historic houses, it delivers purity of fruit, finesse, and a true sense of place. This cuvée showcases the lighter, elegant side of Pinot Noir while remaining deeply rooted in Burgundian tradition, with Prosper Maufoux’s legacy in the Côte d’Or dating back to the 19th century.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a luminous, medium ruby color with bright, youthful reflections. The nose is expressive and precise, unfolding red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry alongside subtle notes of violet, rose petal, and a touch of forest floor and delicate spice. On the palate, it is fresh and silky, with juicy red berry fruit at the core, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity. Hints of red currant, pomegranate, and a gentle savory edge bring complexity, while a discreet touch of oak (if used) adds nuance without overpowering the fruit. The finish is clean and elegant, with a stony, mineral lift typical of higher-altitude vineyards. Enjoyable now for its youthful vibrancy, this 2022 vintage will continue to develop additional complexity and softness over the next 3–5 years.

Production
The grapes for this Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune come from vineyards situated on the hillsides west of the famed Côte de Beaune, where higher elevations, cooler nights, and well-drained limestone-clay soils give naturally fresh, aromatic Pinot Noir. The terroir combines rocky subsoils and thin topsoils, encouraging low yields and good concentration of flavor. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve the delicacy of the fruit and the natural acidity. In the cellar, Prosper Maufoux follows a gentle vinification: careful sorting, temperature-controlled fermentation to capture aromatic purity, and a moderate maceration to extract color and fine tannins without harshness. Aging takes place in stainless steel and/or a proportion of oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop texture and complexity while maintaining a bright, fruit-forward profile.

Food & Serving
This wine is a versatile partner at the table and shines with classic Burgundian cuisine as well as lighter, modern dishes. Pair it with roast chicken, duck breast, charcuterie, grilled pork, or herb-crusted lamb, as well as mushroom risotto, roasted root vegetables, or semi-soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or Tomme. Serve slightly chilled, ideally at around 14–16°C (57–61°F), to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not strictly necessary for a young vintage like 2022, but a brief 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help the wine open up and show its floral and red-fruited character more fully.
