Pierre Matrot vs. Pascale & Thierry

I’ve had the wines of Pascale and Thierry Matrot before, but I received an offer for the base Bourgogne blanc from Pierre Matrot.

I’m inclined to grab them regardless as it’s tough to go wrong with a $20 blanc, but has anyone tasted the wines (whether the bourgogne or meursaults)? How would you compare quality to P&T Matrot?

TIA!

For legal and inheritance reasons there are two domaines here, though everything is made by Thierry Matrot and his wife Pascale. Sometimes theirs is labeled as Pierre Matrot, Thierry’s father: this includes all the Blagny, red and white. The larger remainder, Joseph Matrot, is bought by Thierry and Pascale and is now sold under their label: this includes all the Combettes. Other wines can have either label. But it is all the same wine.

Thierry et Pascale Matrot
Owners of an area of 18 hectares of vines covering MEURSAULT, PULIGNY-MONTRACHET, AUXEY-DURESSES and MONTHELIE. It’s a Family for 3 generations. Today Thierry Matrot manages this operation, it vinifies and commercailise its wines. In 1976, Thierry Matrot, son of Peter, born in 1955, began work on the farm on the estate, after obtaining a degree in enology Beaune and continued his studies at Macon. In 1985, his wife Pascale joined on the operation and take care of business management. Together they continue to do the good reputation of the wines of Domaine Matrot. Since January 2000, Thierry and Pascale Matrot create SARL of the same name which allows them to buy and sell the harvest from the vineyards of Domaine Joseph Matrot. Thierry still the manager of Joseph Fields et Pierre Matrot and remains the guarantor of the quality of the culture of the vineyard.

Interesting, thanks for posting Eric.

I wonder if that’s still the case today? Has anyone tried them?

So you thanked me for my reply and then asked if it is accurate and relevant? Sheesh.

Yes it’s still the case.

In the past I’ve found this bottling to be a great deal. I haven’t loved the current vintage.

The 2007 and 2008 used to be available for about $12-$13, which was a screaming deal. Reds used to be great deals as well. At that point the Bourgogne blanc was lean and racy. I can’t speak to more recent vintages.

Thanks, I just your entry was dated 2011 - a lot can change in three plus years. champagne.gif Apparently not in this instance.

Nothing has changed here to my knowledge, and the likelihood that the dad either got back into the business or re-animated seems much less (rather than more) likely with the passage of time.

In my experience, this is a good, value oriented producer. I have bought various vintages of said wine off restaurant lists a few times. I can’t speak to the specific vintage you are asking about.
