The 1er Cru vineyard is situated to the south of Meursault in the Blagny area, where the vines make up a plot of 40 ouvrees (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, and is situated on edge of the woods. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably and is HVE Level 3 certified. Research is being conducted to analyse the soil geology, in order to measure the impact of the cultivation decisions made, on both the vine and resulting wine. The grapes are hand-harvested.

| Winery | Maison Prosper Maufoux was founded in 1860, by Prosper Maufoux, a notary who left his job to create the eponymous wine house. Over the years, the family winery grew and became a world-renowned name. In 2010, the Piffaut Family, whose winegrowing roots in Burgundy go back over two hundred years, took over Maison Prosper Maufoux. The family then acquired the Château de Saint-Aubin and its exceptional vineyards and the Château is now the new home for Prosper Maufoux. The 9-hectare vineyard is located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Certified HVE level 3, Prosper Maufoux is passionate about sustainable cultivation; biodiversity is encouraged and environmental research takes place to truly understand the impact of cultivating these distinguished Burgundy terroirs. The most advanced techniques in sustainable viticulture are implemented to protect the future of these famous terroirs in the most respectful way |
