Winery - Prosper Maufoux
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A solid yet seductive wine, displaying a handsome bouquet of sour cherry, licorice, meat and leather aromas. The mouth follows in good style with riper cherry fruit, cocoa-chocolate notes and an anise touch that adds dimension. The rich, full palate texture and long finish with its dusty tannins complete the pretty picture. Cellar Selection.

Aromas of clove, strong, spicy oak and sublimated cherry open this hard-to-decipher wine. Large-scaled, with a full mouthfeel, there’s no nuance to read, but we caught a faint glimpse of fruit up front and sensed lovely mineral elements below the surface later. Tight now, but time will tell.

This shows class and style immediately in its dry black cherry and soft leather aromas with chalk nuances on the nose. Opens with even, elegant cherry fruit; spice and leather accents atop a supple palate follow. The wine finishes gracefully, with good length and a sweet back-bouquet.

A nice perfume and crisp, well-defined stony and green apple flavors are attributes of this classified Chablis. Medium-weight, it has a good texture and structure. It finishes tight, with classic Chablis citrus and chalk notes. Appealing now, it should be even better in a year or two. Editors’ Choice

A nose of tart strawberry scents, spice and just a slight stemmy note opens this decent value in Pinot Noir. No, it’s not the most sophisticated red Burgundy out there, but it shows where it’s from. It also shows some complexity, good acids and brisk tannins. Try it with stew or grilled tuna steaks. Editors’ Choice.

Toasty and nutty on the nose, this is a lush, fruit-filled Burgundy that nevertheless retains a sense of minerality amid its baked-apple flavors. It’s plump and custardy in texture, with ample power and concentration, turning minerally on the finish.

From the village in which Prosper Maufoux is based, this is a wine the company takes special pride in. It’s nutty, but also fresh citrusy, and more vibrant and alive than the 2003. Despite ample weight and forward apple and citrus flavors, it shows plenty of minerality on the long finish.

This early release gives a sense of the improvements made at Prosper Maufoux, as well as a taste of the potential quality of the 2005 vintage. Spiced pears and minerals add enough honeyed notes on the palate to seem rich, then finish long. This is all from a single grower, according to Fairchild.

Fruit-driven and fleshy on the palate, this wine’s tropical fruit and baked apple flavors pose a sharp contrast to the lemon and chalk aromas.
