2022 Prosper Maufoux Chardonnay Bourgogne 750 ml

We’re not sure we know a more over-performing Burgundy estate than Prosper Maufoux.

Helmed by the legendary Nadine Gublin, the first woman to win the coveted Winemaker of the Year title from La Revue du Vin de France, they’ve turned out a string of incredible red Burgundy values that have thrilled our members—and have a fleet of four- and five-star reviews to back it up.

But this 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay might be the most impressive of their bottles we’ve offered. Electric and bright, it's a stellar Chablisienne-style Bourgogne Blanc with focus and vibrancy, and one of the best values we’ve tasted in years.

For this bottling, Prosper Maufoux headed south of the Côte d’Or to the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais—two of our favorite spots to look for value in the entire region. Wines from those locales tend to be more delicious and approachable young than some of their cousins from closer to Beaune, and that drink-now charm is on full display here. 

The 2023 vintage produced the sort of vibrant, minerally wines that caused us to fall in love with Burgundy in the first place. Winemaker Nadine Gublin took the hand-harvested grapes and pressed them as whole bunches for maximally pure flavors, before fermentation and aging entirely in stainless steel tanks. It’s an absolute winner—the kind of wine that you’ll be happy to pour with a spruced up Saturday meal but can afford to pop on a Tuesday.
