“Ce blagny Premier cru sent la cerise noire avec une bouche longiligne, ferme mais gracieuse avec beaucoup de relief et une belle trame tannique serrée. Un vin qui ira loin dans le temps.”

“This is the kind of pure Burgundy pleasure that may drive you crazy for more. A riper, equally honest sibling to the old-fashioned, rose-scented 2018, this grows high up the hill in Meursault, at the border with Puligny, where the thin soils leave the vines in close contact with limestone, providing a wine with buzzing energy and a delicate frame. For a 2019, the color is markedly transparent, as is the sour-cherry fruit, providing just enough of a scrim to cover the mineral and woodsy animal depths that layer the finish. The fruit lingers, quietly unfolding, with an understated beauty that completely wins my heart.”

“This pinot noir grows in the same block as the chardonnay vines for Matrot’s Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru, high up the hill, at the border with Puligny. The thin soils leave the vines in close contact with limestone, providing a wine with buzzing energy and a delicate frame. This is a beautiful, old-fashioned Burgundy, its scent parallel to equally old-fashioned roses, its sleek raspberry and black-cherry flavors lasting with textural grace. The silken weave draws you into a wine that feels completely integrated, lovely to drink now and over the next five years.”

“The 2018 Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois is promising, unfurling in the glass to reveal notes of cherries, berries, warm spices and forest floor. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and elegantly layered, with refined tannins, a lively spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish.”

“A more restrained nose combines notes of ripe and fresh black raspberry, warm earth, and wood toast. The delicious, round and plump medium weight flavors possess better mid-palate density while exhibiting touches of austerity and rusticity on the mildly warm finale. This should benefit from a few years of patience.”

“This was recently racked and it showed as sulfur dominates the fruit. More interesting are the delicious and vibrant if not especially concentrated flavors that conclude in a sappy, lightly stony and agreeably dry and lemony finale.”

“It smells of black cherries and delivers a slender, firm but graceful palate, with lots of relief and a nice tight tannic structure. A wine that will go far in time.”

“It offers a bright and deeply sculpted fruit with very precise tannins. A wine with depth and chewiness, masterfully balanced.”

About The Winery
Joseph Matrot (1881-1963), the grandson of owners of a family wine estate in Puligny-Montrachet and Blagny, lived with his wife, Marguerite Amoignon, and their three children at Château d'Evelle. Marguerite also owned a beautiful wine estate in Meursault. In 1914, they took up residence in Marguerite's family home, which is today the seat of Domaine Matrot, and decided to develop and extend the estate. Over the course of generations, Domaine Matrot continued to expand with the addition of new vineyard holdings, and in 2000 began harvesting the vineyards organically. Today, sisters Adèle and Elsa Matrot are in charge of the management and winemaking of the Domaine, ensuring that the family-run domaine will be in good hands for many years to come. Observing careful cultivation and vinification techniques, Domaine Matrot wines offer purity of fruit and terroir-driven character.
