WINE DESCRIPTION
Matrot Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru epitomizes excellence in Chardonnay. With an average vine age of 40 years, the grapes are meticulously handpicked, ensuring optimal ripeness. Whole-cluster pressing on a pneumatic press initiates the winemaking process, followed by 24 hours of settling before barreling. Indigenous yeasts guide fermentation, while temperature control ensures optimal conditions. After 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for about 15 months in oak barrels, fostering complexity and depth.
Located north of Puligny-Montrachet, near Meursault, the vineyard's clay-limestone soil and eastern exposure nurture Chardonnay to perfection. Concentrated and refined, this premier cru dazzles with aromas of ripe yellow fruits and a round palate, balanced by a lively, spicy finish. Matrot Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru exemplifies the epitome of Burgundian elegance and terroir expression.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This elegant and aromatic white Burgundy displays aromas of ripe yellow apple, white peach, lemon curd, white flowers, and a hint of crushed stone.The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, with a bright acidity, a creamy texture, and a beautiful balance of ripe fruit and mineral complexity. It is a dry, linear wine that shows great length and depth. It has the potential to age well for many years to come.
