Description
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. The red red Premier Cru from the Volnay comes from a vineyard located in the charming village of Volnay of the same name, located just south of Beaune in the Côte de Beaune and is home to quite a few top producers. The wine made here is red based on Pinot Noir. There are no Grands Crus, but there are 30 Premiers Crus that usually mention the name of the vineyard on the label
The Domaine Matrot Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots has a rich bouquet of cherries, cassis and wild berries mixed with chocolate and toasted new oak. Matrot's Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is a medium to full bodied and has a velvety wine that shows fine depth and concentration, ending with a long and juicy finish.

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. Domaine Matrot consistently produces wines that reflect Burgundy's unique terroir and skill.
