Reviews of 2006 Matrot, Domaine Thierry Meursault Chardonnay
88 points, Burghound
July 2008
Tasting note: This is also very ripe with hints of exotic fruit that includes mango and papaya that leads to big and impressively rich flavors brimming with dry extract and just as this starts to become a bit top heavy, firm acidity rides to the rescue on the solidly long finish. This is a powerful and concentrated villages wine that will drink well almost immediately.

September 2008
An attractive mix of sweet corn, honey, hazelnut and mineral in a round, well-integrated frame. This is very tasty now and should develop over the near term. Drink now through 2012. 1,000 cases imported. –BS
About 2006 Matrot, Domaine Thierry Meursault Chardonnay
About the Winery Matrot, Domaine Thierry
Producer note: Thierry Matrot said that 2006 is a "vintage where I harvested very
late. I waited an extra week to start because the reds weren't ripe and
while I lost 25% of the juice due to heat, I gained 25% in concentration.
Everything, even the Bourgogne, came in above 14%. And because the
concentration also concentrated the acidity, my '06s remind me of my '03s
in this regard as my yields were only around 20 hl/ha. There was however
a lot of sorting that was required as some grapes had fallen over into
surmaturité and had to be eliminated for fear of imparting off
odors and flavors. Overall, 2005 and 2006 remind me a great deal of 1989
and 1990." The wines were bottled in September and while Matrot was
very enthusiastic about them, I found them to be somewhat mixed as they
are definitely exotic and sometimes slightly warm on the backend.
Moreover, while these '06s are certainly very good, Matrot is known for
crafting high energy, pure and minimalist whites and it would be fair to
say that these '06s depart somewhat from that style. (Diageo Château and
