The 2010 Les Combettes is a beautifully poised and intricately layered wine, reflecting both the tension of the vintage and Matrot’s hallmark precision. The bouquet opens with aromas of white peach, lemon curd, pear skin, and acacia blossom, intertwined with notes of hazelnut, wet limestone, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is taut yet silken, offering a fine balance between ripe orchard fruit and vibrant, chalk-infused acidity that drives its elegant structure. Flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and delicate toasted nuances unfold with clarity and depth, leading into a long, refined finish marked by purity, mineral definition, and quiet power. Now entering a superb phase of maturity, the 2010 Combettes shows both energy and harmony—an expressive and beautifully composed Puligny from this exceptional terroir.
Domaine Matrot Description
Domaine Matrot is a long-established and highly respected family estate based in Meursault, known for producing white Burgundy of purity, tension, and classical restraint. The domaine farms sustainably across parcels in Meursault, Puligny, and Blagny, emphasizing old vines, careful vineyard work, and a style defined by minimal intervention. Fermentations are traditionally carried out with native yeasts, followed by élevage in mostly seasoned oak to preserve finesse and terroir expression. In Puligny, Les Combettes stands out as one of the village’s most admired Premier Crus, lying on the Meursault border where deeper limestone-clay soils and ideal mid-slope exposure yield Chardonnay of generous texture, lifted aromatics, and refined mineral length. Under Matrot’s measured, precise approach, Combettes becomes a wine of both richness and crystalline clarity.
