Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Blanc 2021
D.O Burgundy
Chardonnay
Description
Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Blanc is a white wine made in Burgundy with Chardonnay by Domaine Matrot.
The Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from 30 years old vineyards located in Meursault. These vineyards follow organic practices, avoiding the use of chemical fertilisers and opting for organic fertilisers. Treatments are adapted to specific diseases and vine health, yields and ripeness are carefully monitored at all stages until harvest.
In the cellar, the Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Chardonnay undergoes a natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts for about 8 weeks in oak barrels. The wine then rests on its own lees for 11 months. After racking, the wine is bottled.
Domaine Matrot is located in the village of Meursault in Burgundy, right in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. It was established in the early 20th century by Joseph and Marguerite Matrot, and has remained in the hands of the Matrot family ever since. Today, Domaine Matrot encompasses 23 hectares (equivalent to 56 acres) of vineyards stretching across Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie and Maranges. This includes plots in the renowned Premier Cru Charmes and Perrieres vineyards in Meursault. Since 2000, all the Domaine Matrot vineyards have been farmed exclusively by organic methods, in a gradual process that began in 1976.
