A more unassuming and reticent Burgundian
than Monsieur Pierre Matrot would be hard to find. Were it not for
his more forceful and business minded sister, it is easy to think
that little or none of his magnificent wines would find their way
to the outside world. But such is naturally not the case: Meursaults
from Matrot have long been among the most sought-after bottles of
this deservedly popular white Burgundy. Today, his son Thierry,
has taken over most of the wine making and produces superb Premier
Cru Puligny-Montrachets - "Chalumeaux" and "Combettes".
A sign of Modern times in Burgundy:
Thierry has recently installed a small freight elevator to connect
the mail floor of his press house with several subterranean levels
of his cellars. Otherwise, things remain as classic as they ever
were.
