Goede scores Thierry Matrot Bourgogne 2008 bij Jancis Robinson

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2008 Bourgogne Chardonnay16 Drink 2010-2012

Straightforward, honest white burgundy. Lemon zest on the nose, more restrained on the palate. Clean but not lean. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2008 St-Romain16.5 Drink 2011-2017

Ripe with a hint of orange and apricot flavour. 10% new oak (as neutral and non toasted as possible) adds roundness rather than oak flavour. Very fine-grained texture. Dry and deliciously refreshing. Good concentration. Accomplished. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2008 Meursault16.5 Drink 2011-2015

Really creamy, almost buttery nose. Broad and sweetly oaked on the palate. A light grip and a fresh finish, leaving spice on the tip of your tongue. Good length. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Premier Cru 2008 Meursault-Blagny17 Drink 2012-2015

Much more mineral and less obviously appealing on the nose than the straight Meursault. Straight and determined. Underlying mineral power and depth. Austere but in a good way. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Charmes Premier Cru 2008 Meursault17 Drink 2012-2016

Can I smell toffee? Almost. Definitely sweetness of fruit. Dense and creamy but lively too. Long spiced finish while the oak is still on the surface. A lot more to come. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Les Chalumaux Premier Cru 2008 Puligny-Montrachet17.5 Drink 2012-2016

Complex and inviting: lots of oak but rich clear fruit at the core. Powerful, dry and smoky mineral notes to the very end. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2008 Monthelie17 Drink 2012-2017

Complex mix of fruit and meat but also perfumed. Sweet fruit right through the palate, smooth, quite dense, harmonious already though there is a fine framework of tannin and acid. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2008 Meursault17.5 Drink 2013-2020

The little strip just below Volnay Santenots. Pure and bright. Shiny red fruit, like cheeks (facial!) in from the cold. Scented with the same red fruit on the palate, tannins are present but so fine, they slip over your palate and leave your mouth with a memory of that bright fruit on the finish. Complete. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot 2008 Auxey-Duresses17 Drink 2013-2019

Rich, warm and inviting. Lovely bright pure juicy red fruit though not just that. Finest note of spice though the oak is very much in the background. Elegant and long. (JH)

Dom Thierry et Pascale Matrot, La Pièce Sous le Bois Premier Cru 2008 Blagny17 Drink 2013-2020

A little more meaty than the red Meursault but still that bright fruit. Darker and more savoury yet still fragrant and long. Fine, refreshing length. (JH)
