Saint-Aubin 2022 - Château de Saint Aubin - Prosper Maufoux

Wine Prosper Maufoux - Located just 18 km south-east of Beaune, the Saint-Aubin vineyard flourishes beneath the Château de Saint-Aubin, nestled in the hollow of a valley. This vineyard benefits from colluvial deposits at the bottom of the valley, ensuring optimal drainage and providing the grapes with ideal conditions to express all the precision and freshness of the appellation. The pale gold colour gives way to an elegant nose of fresh citrus, heralding a refined and expressive wine. On the palate, the Saint-Aubin 2022 is powerful and lively, with a salty minerality characteristic of the terroir, enriched by subtle woody and almond notes from its ageing in oak barrels. Food and wine pairings: It pairs beautifully with poultry and festive dishes (duck, guinea fowl, turkey), grilled or roasted fish, and mild cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or Comté. For a particularly successful pairing, opt for poultry with a mushroom sauce. Vinification and ageing: The grapes, pressed whole and gently settled, ferment in barrels with ageing on the full lees for 12 months, 30% of which is in lightly toasted new barrels, ensuring elegance and balance.
