The winery's origins date back to the mid-19th century and floated on the vineyards of the Amoignon family. The name Amoignon is exchanged for Matrot during the First World War because that name has since been married. Thierry and Pascale Matrot are now in charge and their two daughters also work in the company. Domaine Matrot produces a rich range of Burgundy wines from the Cote de Beaune, both white and red and from base wines to premier cru wines.
Domaine Martrot's Bourgogne Blanc is a 100% chardonnay of which 20% is aged in new French oak and 80% in 2nd and 3rd year oak. This delicious white Burgundy has a harmonious bouquet with yellow plums and citrus fruits, while the palate is well balanced with a light honeyed note towards the finish. The beautiful year 2020 (you know: low yield-high quality) gives the wine an extra fresh twist.

Domaine Matrot is a prestigious wine producer located in the heart of the Burgundian wine region in France. The history of Domaine Matrot goes back several generations. It started at the end of the 19th century when Joseph Matrot founded the estate in Meursault, a renowned village for producing exceptional Chardonnay wines.
Over the years, the Matrot family has painstakingly cultivated and expanded their vineyards, acquiring prime plots of land in some of Burgundy's most prized appellations, including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay. This strategic acquisition of vineyards has enabled Domaine Matrot to produce a wide range of high-quality wines that showcase the unique terroir of each vineyard location. Domaine Matrot is known for its traditional winemaking techniques, prioritizing minimal intervention to allow the expression of the terroir and the characteristics of the grape varieties to shine through in the final wines. They typically ferment their wines using indigenous yeasts and age them in French oak barrels to add complexity and structure while respecting the delicate nuances of the fruit.
The estate has been passed down through several generations of the Matrot family, each contributing their expertise and passion for winemaking to uphold the domain's reputation for excellence. Today, Domaine Matrot is run by the current generation of the family, who continue to uphold the estate's traditions while embracing modern developments in viticulture and winemaking.
