Domaine Joseph Matrot Premier Cru Chalumeaux 2004 WHITE France

Thierry Matrot is "a top-class Burgundy producer" says Wine International and the talent behind this elegant complex Puligny - always one of our most sought-after white Burgundies because his minimal use of oak gives an extraordinarily ripe fruit-driven white of supreme balance and poise. Minute quantities so please act quickly. Born in 1881 in the Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Joseph Matrot was always interested in wine and began his career as a negociant so when his wife inherited a small plot of Meursault vines with a rambling cottage the pair set up residence and began renovating the estate. Originally it had been more of a farm with cows chickens and horses for the ploughing but having dealt in bottled wine previously Joseph already had a network of customers and committed himself purely to wine production. Today the estate is run by Joseph's son Thierry who as well as having learned his trade first hand has studied for an oenological diploma in Beaune. Pale gold with a complex aroma of butter nuts white blossom and stone fruits. Full and steely with broad flavours and piercing freshness in perfect harmony. Will benefit from decant 20 minutes prior to serving.
