Origin and terroir

Domaine Matrot's Bourgogne Blanc is produced from various plots in the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards benefit from the calcareous soils so characteristic of this region. Limestone plays an important role in the wine's final character, providing tension, freshness, and subtle minerality. Thanks to Burgundy's temperate climate, the grapes retain their natural acidity, while sufficient sunshine ensures optimal ripeness and aromatic expression.

Grapes and vineyard management

This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay. Domaine Matrot has been working according to organic principles for years and pays close attention to soil health and biodiversity in the vineyards. Through careful vineyard management and precise selection during the harvest, the result is fruit with an excellent balance between ripeness, freshness, and aromatic concentration. The focus is always on purity and preserving the character of the grape and its origin.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed to preserve maximum finesse. Fermentation takes place traditionally, with great attention to maintaining freshness and terroir expression. Typically, a portion of the wine ages in used French oak barrels, while another portion is aged in tanks. This creates a harmonious balance between fruit, structure, and subtle complexity. During aging, sur lie maturation contributes extra texture, depth, and refinement without the wine losing its lively character.

Color, smell and taste

The wine presents itself with a bright light yellow color. On the nose, aromas of citrus, green apple, ripe pear, and white flowers dominate. Additionally, subtle notes of almond, brioche, and wet limestone are present. On the palate, the wine combines a fresh start with a soft texture and refined minerality. The Chardonnay reveals itself as pure and precise, with a beautiful tension that provides length and elegance in the finish.

Style and character

The Bourgogne Blanc from Domaine Matrot is known for its classic style. No excessive oak or heavy structure, but rather freshness, balance, and drinking pleasure. The wine possesses sufficient concentration to be gastronomically versatile, while the lively acidity ensures accessibility in its youth. This is Bourgogne Blanc as many enthusiasts like to see it: refined, energetic, and terroir-driven.

Volume
