White Wine

Prosper Maufoux Domaine Vigne Au Roy Bourgogne 2023, Hautes-CĂ´tes De Nuits, Burgundy A.P., France: Crafted from Pinot Noir, this elegant red unfolds with aromas reminiscent of wild blossoms and forest floor, joined by a touch of rhubarb. The palate is mid-weight and smooth in texture, layered with flavours of dark cherry, earthy undertones, wild herbs and subtle spice. Gentle tannins provide structure while a lift of acidity keeps things bright. Serve it alongside asparagus risotto or grilled scallops. Food pairings: asparagus risotto, spring salad with ricotta salata, grilled scallops. Drink: 2025 - 2026 43436 13.5% XD 750 mL $31.95 Score: 91/100. April 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
