2009 Matrot Meursault Pierrieres, a Burghound 20 year wine?

@Peter Chiu

In theory it should last 20 years as Matrot harvested it early ( on 09 Sept )…

Thought early was more like sept 1st. No?

Yes…Sept 1st is the earliest . They hold back to 09 Sept as the acidity level was too high on or around Sept 1st.

Please remember Meursault is quite far from Montrachet.

When you spend a few minutes doing research on Matrot Meursault’s on the Cornwell white Burgundy Premox wiki, this gets brought into perspective pretty quickly.

2007 - 2/5 premox - 40%
2005 - 4/6 premox - 66%

i’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Will try a 2003 Matrot Perrieres, recently bought on the domaine, this week, and will report back.

Well, I got to try the 2003, and was pleasantly surprised (so were the others at the table): no sign of premox, drinking marvellously

I’m sure that review and all reviews have the rider subject to cork doing its job.

Matrot wines can age superbly well. I’ve 2004s that still had 20 years in the tank. Thierry is as frustrated as anyone with cork and has moved a few of his wines to screwcap, including 100% of the bourgogne chardonnay.

agree. I won’t buy Matrot regardless of price or promise. It is a disservice to tout the wine sans disclaimer.

2003 will likely be the least premoxed of the vintages in the 2000’s. If you find a wine that seems flawed, it’s likely reductive. Not that it’s my favorite vintage…

Way too bad about this producer’s premox issues as the Pierrires is stunning when in good shape. I bought and drank 4 btls of the 07. Two were completely DOA and two were as youthfully vibrant and sexy a Meursault could ever be.
