the terroir of blagny la pièce sous le bois premier cru

The La Pièce sous le Bois vineyard is located in Blagny, on the border between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. This area is unique because both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive here on the same chalky terroir. The location and soil create a wine with structure, refined acidity, and an expressive minerality that enhances the character of this Premier Cru.

vinification and maturation of the 2023 harvest

The grapes for the 2023 Domaine Matrot Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce sous le Bois come from Pinot Noir vines averaging 35 years old. After complete destemming, the grapes undergo a cold maceration of 3 to 6 days at 10°C, followed by 12 to 18 days of fermentation with natural yeasts. During fermentation, the wine is pumped over twice a day and/or pigeage is applied, depending on the vintage's conditions. The wine is then aged for 15 months on its fine lees in oak barrels, 20% of which are new, followed by a further three months in steel tanks to preserve balance and freshness.
