Burghound, June 2010

A background touch of toasty oak does not fight with the cool and airy white flower and spiced pear nose that also evidences traces of wet stone. There is good generosity to the restrained medium-bodied flavors that possess good mid-palate fat and ample minerality on the refined, focused and linear finish that goes on and on. This is an excellent wine of finesse and purity.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, October 2010

Musky stone and toast on the nose. Concentrated but a bit youthfully disjointed, with firm acidity framing and intensifying the flavors of white flowers, acacia honey, grilled nuts and lemon. With air this shows increasing finesse. Can't match the volume of the Meursault Charmes but this is seriously concentrated and long. Matrot suggests pairing it with scallops with Szechuan peppercorn.

About Winery

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. In order to accomplish this goal, he relies upon his wine making philosophy: "wine is made in the vineyards - and far less than people think, in the cellar. However talented the oenologist, with poor raw materials he is lost before he has even started." 100% estate-bottling has been practiced at the domaine since Thierry's grandfather, Joseph Matrot, took it over in 1908.
