Founded in 1835, Domaine Matrot is one of the most respected names in Meursault. While many neighbors lean into heavy oak, the Matrots have utilized neutral barrels for their village wines for decades, preferring to showcase the naked brilliance of their 12 different village plots. The 2023 vintage is a standout for them—a sunny, expressive year that provided succulent fruit along with fresh acidity to provide tension. This is classic Meursault through and through. It opens with aromas of hazelnut and acacia, followed by layers of ripe peach and lemon curd. Because there is no new oak to mask the fruit, the texture is incredibly pure and transparent, finishing with a savory, saline edge that pulls you back for another sip. This is everything you want in a top flight Meursault—power and opulence with remarkable freshness and precision.
