Wine Region

Côte de Beaune, France

Vineyard

24 hectares

Sisters Adèle and Elsa Matrot took over from their father, Thierry Matrot, in the 2016 vintage. Thierry had made the wines here for over three decades alongside the Chef de cave, Gaël Fouré, who has run the cellar at the domaine for nearly as long. With a history spanning six generations, the story of Domaine Matrot began with Simon Boillot, a winegrower in Meursault during the 1800s. His son, Claude Matrot became a wine merchant who was captivated by the thought of owning his own vines and so in 1900, he purchased three premier crus parcels on behalf of his family. Just four years later, his son, Joseph Matrot, married Marguerite Amignon – the granddaughter of Simon Boillot. She owned a wine estate with her brother Charles in Meursault and Joseph brought brough with him winemaking savoir-faire passed onto him from his father. Tragically, Charles was killed in 1914 during the war, and so Marguerite and Joseph became the sole owners. They relocated to settle at the domain and develop the business. This house still remains as the headquarters of Domaine Matrot today. Each generation there after helped nurture the estate and acquire additional plots of vines – expanding from Meursault to incorporate Auxey-Duresses and Bourgogne Pinot Noir. In 2008, after obtaining viticulture qualifications, Elsa joined her parents at the Domaine. Two years later, after achieving her own impressive wine business credentials, Elsa’s sister Adèle arrived.

WHITE WINES

In the words of Adèle Matrot : Another very dry and early vintage, this was a generous and promising crop. Picking started in Meursault on 22nd August and the day after for the reds. Very little sorting of Pinot Noir was required– the grapes were very healthy and the yields good.

BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY

This comes mainly from Meursault, where the domaine has four hectares, with the rest coming from the family’s two hectares in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune beside Maranges plus 3% from Chablis. Crisp and crunchy white peach and pear fruit, approachable and bright. 30% new oak in 2022. Bottled in August 2023, just before harvest.

MEURSAULT 1ER CRU BLAGNY

The white soils here – limestone and light clay – contribute to a fine chalky texture, which for me is the signature of this wine. Fine, crushed rock minerality and class fleshy white peach, with a nice crunch on the finish. Vinified in 13 year-old barrels. 25 barrels were made in total. This has been in stainless steel vat since before the 2023 harvest and will be bottled in March 2024.

BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR

The domaine’s Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from three parcels two of which are in Puligny-Montrachet and one in Meursault. This has five days of cold soak to bring out its pretty Pinot perfume. Red fruited and crunchy, it is precise and sustained by juicy, the palate framed by fine, chalky tannins. 10% new oak.

Concentrated red berry fruit, with fine, fruit-coated tannins and fresh acidity. 15-20% new oak.

MARANGES 1ER CRU LA FUISSIÈRE

An emblematic Côte de Beaune Pinot, from a plot just above Sous le Dos (from where Domaine Meursault comes) and directly beneath the wood of– hence sous le bois. Focused, pure red wintery berries. On the palate, juicy acidity the medium-bodied palate, teeing up for succulent, finish. A friendly wine of honesty and purity. 100% destemmed. 20% new oak.
