Domaine Matrot | The 2023 Meursault is here

by Hugh French | May 07, 2026

For over a century, the Matrot family has made wine from the same limestone hillsides above Meursault. Today the estate is in the hands of sisters Elsa and Adèle, who took over from their father Thierry in 2016. Under their watch the wines have retained everything that made Domaine Matrot a reference point in the region, while gaining a freshness and refinement that feels distinctly their own.

Nothing is rushed here. The whites are fermented slowly in old barrels, no new oak, and held in cellar until just before the following harvest. They are precise, layered and built to evolve over many years.

The 2023 vintage was not an easy one. A heat spike mid-harvest forced Elsa and her team to pick only in the cooler morning hours, working carefully across 17 days to bring in fruit at exactly the right moment. The whites came through with their freshness and acidity intact, and Elsa herself is happy with the result.

Precise, unhurried whites from one of Meursault's most trusted addresses: Bourgogne Blanc, village Meursault, Charmes and Puligny-Montrachet Les Chalumeaux.

2023 Bourgogne Blanc

"Includes their own Hautes Côtes vines (7 year old) and their Auxey Blanc very young vines, Maranges blanc (too small for a separate cuvée) plus 5ha below Meursault. The total is 650 hectolitres of which 150 hectos is purchased fruit. So there is lots of it. Makes sure you get some! Mid lemon yellow, the nose is on the sunnier side, the palate has some built in austerity from the texture, and with proper Burgundian grip. Clive Coates would have liked it. Altogether excellent on the palate, though the bouquet is currently simpler. Lovely aftertaste."

"A very light gunflint but more it is the white fruit to the fore, especially on the palate. Some citrus at the back to maintain freshness, and the fruit keeps kicking on during an extended finish. Leaves a fine aftertaste."

2023 Meursault 1er Cru 'Charmes'

Usually $388

93-95 Points

"A clear fresh colour, with a thoroughly energetic bouquet that is still classical Charmes. Excellent in the mouth too, very pure white fruit, good acidity, many layers to this and fine persistence. A fine expression of the vineyard and showing that 2023 does not lack concentration. As per the Chalumeaux, the grapes from the young vines suffered in the heat and were sold off."

(5-Stars)

"Mid lemon yellow, riper and sunnier but in a pleasingly floral idiom. I love the balance to this and there is a fine thread of acidity which really sets this apart, and a lovely little citrus tint to the fresh yet ripe apples. Grapes from the young vines caught the sun, did not make the cut and were sold off. What they bottled is marvellous though!"
