(Matrot's vines are situated just under Perrières): Bright, light yellow. Tighter on the nose than the Blagny, offering subtle hints of orange, lemon, spices, minerals and butter. Enters the mouth a bit salty and severe but the middle palate is suave and refined, with its rich, glyceral fruit enlivened by harmonious orange-and-lemon acidity. Finishes tactile, saline, subtle and long, with emerging minerality contributing to an impression of juicy firmness. This is more complex than the Blagny: Matrot suggests pairing it with veal sweetbreads--in 20 years.
