The Pinot Noir in this cuvée, planted in the same plot as some Chardonnay, boasts a surprising, but no less pleasant, acidity. This rounds off a powerful, fleshy tasting experience, with hints of black berries and a dash of spice. More info

Critically acclaimed for its Meursaults, Domaine Matrot proves that its talent is not limited to producing Burgundy whites of exceptional quality with this cuvée. Just like the Chardonnay sharing the Blagny parcel, the Pinot Noir takes root in highly concentrated limestone soil. This accounts for the remarkable freshness and minerality of this wine.
The grapes are completely destemmed and undergo cold vatting (10 °C on average) for 3 to 6 days, before the wine is aged in French oak casks for 15 months. Twenty percent of the casks are new allowing the fruit to develop more pronounced aromas.
The wine reveals flavours of black berries, blackberries and blackcurrants, with hints of sweet spices. The palate is powerful and the tannins are perfectly integrated, providing fleshiness and volume.

Meursault 1er Cru Blagny La Pièce sous le bois Matrot (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 15°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Bécasse aux cèpes, Chevreuil aux airelles, Caviar d'aubergines.
