MATROT MEURSAULT 2022

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Focused and direct and very good for the price.¿ That's the Bourgogne Blanc. It¿s red counterpart is an ¿excellent example of generic burgundy ¿ has lively fruit, fine tannins and unexpected length, all at a good price.¿ Those particular notes from Jancis Robinson¿s faithful sidekick Julia Harding MW tell part of the story. We were unashamedly, and somewhat unhopefully, searching for that ever-elusive holy grail: great-value burgundy. The Matrots exercise extreme care with barrel hygiene and temperature control during vinification, enjoying long and uneventful ferments for eight to ten weeks. They also check the quality of the lees during the maturation process and adjust bâtonnage to the need of each parcel and vintage. These are wines that smack deliciously of this corner of the Côte de Beaune, and of a family very much at home there.

The 2022 Meursault Village contains no new oak, as usual. The lively bouquet has enticing scents of dried honey, peppermint and orange pith. This just grows in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly viscous texture and fine acidity. It's quite spicy with a dash of stem ginger towards the persistent finish. Very promising." Neal Martin, Vinous
