Description
Low on the Meursault side the protected microclimate and slightly richer soils here. It’s a tricky one to taste in barrel, again this is often a good sign at en Primeur stage. There’s a tight frame of acidity surrounding what appears to be complex fruit. Long, more delicate, saline and mineral finish. Very serious this year. 2024 to 2032.
Producer Information: Domaine Thierry and Pascale Matrot
Now run by Adele and Ailsa Matrot, the third daughter. This domaine is Meursault's most significant in terms of vineyard holding and quality combined. Thierry is one of the few modern growers who prefers to store and sell wine when it is near to maturity, foregoing the cash advantage. However, he does release a few cases for sale 'En primeur'.
Always known for the quality of their Meursault they are beginning to get quite a reputation for the approachability and quality of their reds. Their red Meursault ‘LA PIECE SOUS LE BOIS’ is as great as ever. It's unusual but i cannot commend it to you highly enough.
