PROSPER MAUFOUX

Prosper Maufoux Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023

Trust your Taste

Floral aromas and exotic fruit meet an energetic lemon edge in this Bourgogne Chardonnay. Stainless steel ageing keeps its fruit and freshness in focus. Try it if you enjoy Chardonnay with a lively finish and a gently rounded middle.

PalateKeySe · Delicate & Sensitive
?

Moderate weight, little grip and clear lemony freshness favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy fresh, unoaked Chardonnay with lemon, florals and a little texture.

It may not suit you if you prefer very soft acidity or heavily buttery, oaky whites.

How this wine feels

This feels medium in weight, with very little drying grip. A little roundness balances the lemony fresh edge, while fruit and florals linger. It is a lifted Chardonnay style without a strong oak flavour.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
