Prosper Maufoux Meursault 1er Cru La Pièce sous le Bois 2022 – Buy Fine Burgundy White Wine Online
Exceptional 1er Cru Meursault from a Benchmark Vintage
Experience the brilliance of Prosper Maufoux Meursault 1er Cru La Pièce sous le Bois 2022, an exceptional Premier Cru Chardonnay from Burgundy that showcases the elegance, complexity, and minerality that define the finest Meursault wines. Crafted by renowned winemaker Mathieu Joblot, this 2022 vintage is drawn from a prestigious parcel, "La Pièce sous le Bois", nestled within the heart of Meursault’s 1er Cru vineyards.
Tasting Notes – Flinty, Creamy, and Elegantly Textured
This fine white Burgundy wine opens with a refined aromatic bouquet of flint, toasted hazelnut, and baking spices, layered over a core of ripe stone fruits and citrus zest. On the palate, expect tension and structure, with a luxurious creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a refreshing saline minerality on the finish. This wine offers remarkable depth, freshness, and precision, all hallmarks of an outstanding vintage.
Why the 2022 Vintage Stands Out
The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is already being hailed as one of the best in recent memory. A dry and warm growing season delivered low yields but produced concentrated Chardonnay grapes with perfect balance, vibrant acidity, and superb ageing potential. The hydric stress experienced in summer helped intensify flavour concentration, while cool spells earlier in the year preserved remarkable freshness and purity in the final wine.

Winery | The 1er Cru vineyard is situated south of Meursault in the Blagny area, where the vines make up a plot of 40 oeuvres (approximately two hectares), which were planted in 1959 and again in 2010 in this exceptionally chalky soil. The plot is located on the top of the hill overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, in what is known as the Hameau de Blagny. The vines here form a basin rich in white marl and produce low yields of concentrated wines with excellent natural balancing acidity. The hamlet is on the border with Puligny-Montrachet and is the highest point in Meursault, at 330 metres, situated on the edge of the woods. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably and is HVE Level 3 certified. Research is being conducted to analyse the soil geology to measure the impact of the cultivation decisions on the vine and the resulting wine. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
