About this wine
Domaine Matrot, based in Meursault, is a historic estate known for its commitment to terroir-driven winemaking. The Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru is sourced from high-altitude vineyards located at the top of the slope, bordering Puligny-Montrachet. This unique positioning imparts a distinct mineral tension and vibrant acidity that balances the classic richness of Meursault. The wine undergoes careful aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex profile of white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, and citrus zest, underpinned by a firm, stony backbone that ensures excellent aging potential.
This is a sophisticated white wine that showcases the elegant, mineral-driven side of Meursault rather than just pure power.
