Classic Meursault from a renowned family estate
The Thierry et Pascale Matrot Meursault is a magnificent example of the elegant style for which this iconic village in the Côte de Beaune is world-famous. The Matrot family is among the oldest wine families in Meursault and is known for wines that excel in purity, clarity, and finesse.
Grapes & Vinification
The Chardonnay grapes come from vineyards in Meursault with calcareous clay soil, which provides the characteristic minerality and structure. The wine is fermented with 100% natural yeasts and aged for 15 months in oak, 20% of which are new barrels. This adds complexity and a subtle touch of oak without overshadowing the elegance. After light filtration, the wine matures for another 3 months in stainless steel before bottling.
