2023 Domaine Matrot Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru

The winery's origins date back to the mid-19th century and were based on the Amoignon family's vineyards. During the First World War, the name Amoignon was replaced by Matrot, as the name had been adopted by marriage. Thierry and Pascale Matrot now run the estate, and their two daughters also work in the business. Domaine Matrot produces a wide range of Burgundy wines from the Côte de Beaune, including both white and red wines, ranging from basic to premier cru wines. Blagny is a hamlet on the border between Meursault and Puligny. (Both white and red Meursault 1er crus are produced here.) The MEURSAULT-BLAGNY 1ER CRU is, of course, a 100% Chardonnay from the Meursault appellation and from the renowned Blagny Premier Cru vineyards. The grapes are harvested by hand using natural yeasts. The whole bunches are pressed and then left to rest for 24 hours, followed by settling and transferring to barrels. The wine ferments in temperature-controlled vats and undergoes complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged on its lees for 12 months in oak barrels between 1 and 4 years old, followed by a further 3 months of aging in steel tanks to prepare the wine for bottling. The Matrot Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru has a vibrant, fresh bouquet with citrus notes of yellow plums, mixed with flint and pure fruit. The aromas are characteristic of clay-limestone soils, particularly those of limestone rocks. The palate is well-defined and has good weight, with notes of flaked almonds, a hint of ginger, and some vanilla and brioche on the finish.
