Prosper Maufoux, Brut "Cremant de Bourgogne" Burgundy, France

Founded in 1860 by notary-turned-winemaker Prosper Maufoux, this Burgundian estate in Santenay has a storied history of crafting terroir-driven wines in the heart of the southern Côte d'Or. Today led by Eric Piffaut's family and acclaimed winemaker Nadine Gublin, who made history as the first female "Winemaker of the Year" by France's leading wine magazine. This traditional-method Crémant represents the estate's dedication to excellence across all Burgundian appellations.
