2022 Domaine Matrot Meursault Premier Cru "Les Perrières", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
The "Les Perrières" vineyard is renowned for producing some of Meursault's most refined and mineral-driven wines. Domaine Matrot practices organic viticulture, allowing the unique terroir to express itself fully. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in oak barrels, with a restrained use of new oak to preserve the wine's freshness and purity. The 2022 vintage has been noted as one of the best to date for Domaine Matrot, reflecting their commitment to quality and excellence. Food Pairing: This Meursault Premier Cru pairs excellently with dishes such as seared scallops, lobster, roasted poultry, creamy risottos, and soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Elsa and Adèle took the reins of the estate in 2016 from father Thierry, having joined the domaine in 2008 and 2010 respectively. They observe the mantra that a wine should reflect its terroir and its vintage, and attentive work in the vineyards is the first step in preserving their precise characteristics. The family moved to organic fertilizers upon his arrival on the scene in 1976, when Thierry and his father adopted a lutte raisonnée approach to the vines. The rational progression from here was full organic viticulture across all the vineyards of Domaine Matrot from the year 2000. The family uses organic manure and ploughs the land, employing rigorous pruning and then disbudding in spring to control yields. If necessary, a green harvest takes place before véraison. Health and ripeness are assiduously observed in order to pick at the perfect time. The Matrots exercise extreme care with barrel hygiene and temperature control during vinification, enjoying long and uneventful ferments for eight to ten weeks. They also check the quality of the lees during the maturation process and adjust bâtonnage to the need of each parcel and vintage. These are wines that smack deliciously of this corner of the Côte de Beaune, and of a family very much at home there.
