The Matrot domaine is one of the oldest estate-bottlers in Burgundy and one of the largest and most important properties in Meursault. It is widely represented on the wine lists of France’s greatest restaurants, and has been distributed in the United States for over thirty years. Thierry Matrot and his wife, Pascale are the owners. The domaine farms about 3/4 of its 45 acres, some of the finest vineyards in the heart of Burgundy.The average age of the vines is an impressive 30 years. Thierry Matrot works towards the achievement of one major goal: to produce a wine that retains its elegance while maximizing both the fruit and the native tang of the soil. This is 50% domaine / 50% purchased fruit from 3 sources from in and around Meursault and the Côte Chalonnaise. A perfumed nose. Soft, not a lot of acidity which is fine for this appellation. Quite round, with a little lemon zest, dried apricot, lime and sugar candy. Finishes with walnut and a bit of tart grapefruit. Picked as one of Decanter Magazine's Top White Burgundies for the vintage.
