Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023
Domaine Matrot is a highly respected family estate famous for crafting premium wines in the prestigious village of Meursault. With this Bourgogne Chardonnay, they apply their expert winemaking to fruit grown just outside the famous appellation boundary. Because the twenty-year-old vines sit right next door to some of the most expensive vineyards in Burgundy, you get a beautifully made French wine that delivers the polish of a top-tier estate at exceptional value. Fermented naturally and aged for a full twelve months in oak barrels - nearly a third of which are brand new - this traditional approach gives the wine a wonderfully smooth, rounded texture. In the glass, expect inviting aromas of white-fleshed orchard fruits. The palate perfectly balances the crispness of the grapes with a generous, creamy mouthful and a subtle hint of toasted oak on the finish. Thanks to that extra weight and texture, this white wine is the ideal companion for comforting, savoury dishes. It sits perfectly alongside a classic Sunday roast chicken, works beautifully with a creamy mushroom risotto, and effortlessly elevates a simple piece of baked salmon. It is a smart, straightforward choice that completely over-delivers for the price and is perfectly ready to be enjoyed young.
