Domaine Thierry & Pascale Matrot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Combettes" 2019, 750ml

For a long time Matrot stood for classically styled wines from the Meursault appellation. With the 4th generation in the form of sisters Elsa and Adèle now taking over this domaine from father Thierry and his wife Pascale, some serious progress is taking place. Their vineyard holding have always been amazing with parcels in Meursault 1er Crus Les Perrières and Les Charmes and Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes. The style was always one where new oak was rarely seen; each year’s new barrels being used for the Bourgogne so that the taste of new oak wasn’t seen in the 1er Crus. Elsa and Adèle are now giving a longer élevage for the top whites and bottling is done by gravity. With more attention to detail the wines are becoming ever more precise and expressive. Domaine Matrot is finally taking their position as one of the top domaines of Meursault.
