Description
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.
This Matrot is a 100% Pinot Noir from a selection of vines in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. The grapes are destemmed and fermentation takes place with mature yeasts. Fermentation takes place for 12 to 18 days with pumping/pigeage twice a day. The wine is aged for 15 months in oak barrels, of which 10% is new oak, and is then aged for another 3 months in stainless steel.
The Matrot Bourgogne Pinot Noir is dominated by notes of fresh and sweet red fruit. It is a beautiful pure red Burgundy, balanced but light wood tones, beautiful red fruit of ripe cherries and that typical Pinot Noir pepper. It is juicy with soft tannins. Delicious to drink slightly chilled.
