2020 Domaine Matrot Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru

The origins of the winery date back to the mid-19th century and floated on the vineyards of the Amoignon family. The name Amoignon was exchanged for Matrot during the First World War because that name had since been married. Thierry and Pascale Matrot are now in charge and both of their 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 basic wines to premier cru wines.

Blagny is a hamlet on the border between Meursault and Puligny. (Both white and red 1er crus Meursault are made.) The MEURSAULT-BLAGNY 1ER CRU is of course a 100% Chardonnay coming from the Meursault appellation and from the well-known Blagny Premier Cru wine grape. The grapes are harvested by hand with natural yeasts. The whole bunches are pressed and then left to rest for 24 hours, followed by settling and pouring into barrels. The wine ferments in temperature-controlled barrels and undergoes complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 12 months on its lees in oak barrels between 1 and 4 years old and then a further 3 months of maturation in steel barrels to prepare the wine for bottling. The Matrot Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru has a lively fresh bouquet with citrus notes of yellow plums with a mix of flint and pure fruit. The aromas are characteristic of clay-limestone soils and in particular the subsoil of limestone rocks. The palate is well defined with good weight with notes of slivered almonds, a hint of ginger and some vanilla and brioche in the finish.
