The Meursault 1er Cru Perrières 2020 is a strikingly pure and mineral-driven Chardonnay, combining the vintage’s concentration with the climat’s legendary tension. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, crushed stone, and subtle floral notes rise with crystalline clarity. On the palate, the wine is taut and focused, built around a powerful stony core and vibrant acidity that drives the wine vertically. A restrained creaminess frames flavors of citrus oil, pear skin, and almond without softening the structure. As it opens, saline and chalky nuances deepen the complexity. The finish is long, incisive, and resonant—an authoritative Perrières that promises decades of graceful evolution.
Domaine Matrot Description
Domaine Matrot is one of Meursault’s most respected traditional family estates, renowned for its consistency, integrity, and unwavering focus on terroir expression. The Matrot family farms its vineyards sustainably, prioritizing old vines, low yields, and meticulous work in both vineyard and cellar. Their winemaking philosophy is resolutely classical: gentle pressing, long élevage, and restrained oak use designed to preserve freshness and mineral clarity. Domaine Matrot is especially admired for its interpretation of Meursault’s finest Premier Crus, where richness is always balanced by tension. Perrières, often considered Meursault’s most “Grand Cru–like” climat, is a jewel of stony, limestone-rich soils. In Matrot’s hands, it delivers precision, depth, and remarkable longevity.
