Save 40% Blue Chip Famous White Wine Domaine. Domaine Matrot is one of the smartest buys in Burgundy, delivering the charm, grace, and infinite mystery of Meursault for a fraction of what you’d pay for Leflaive, Carillon, and Sauzet.

Founded by Joseph Matrot (1881-1963), the grandson of owners of a family wine estate in Puligny-Montrachet and Blagny, who lived with his wife, Marguerite Amoignon, and their three children at Château d’Evelle. Marguerite also owned a beautiful wine estate in Meursault. In 1914, they took up residence in Marguerite’s family home, which is today the seat of Domaine Matrot, and decided to develop and extend the estate. Over the course of generations, Domaine Matrot continued to expand with the addition of new vineyard holdings, and in 2000 began harvesting the vineyards organically. Today, it is women-owned by sisters Adèle and Elsa Matrot who are in charge of the management and winemaking of the Domaine, ensuring that the family-run domaine will be in good hands for many years to come. Observing careful cultivation and vinification techniques, Domaine Matrot wines offer purity of fruit and terroir-driven character.  Meursault that is rich, fine, and elegant with a great balance. The result is a generous yet precise white Burgundy, showing ripe citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle stone fruit layered with hazelnut, white flowers, and a gentle creamy undertone. Beneath the richness runs a distinct mineral line and fresh acidity, giving shape and lift to a long, composed finish.

Neal Martin recently declared, “The 2022s [from the house of Matrot] are the best I have tasted to date … This is a domaine going places. Hitch a ride” — adding his name to a growing chorus of people, us included, who in recent years have been touting Domaine Matrot as one of the smartest buys in Burgundy, delivering the charm, grace, and infinite mystery of Meursault for a fraction of what you’d pay for Leflaive, Carillon, and Sauzet.
