Note di degustazione
The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières was bottled a bit later than has been the norm chez Matrot, as Elsa Matrot is keen to see if longer sur lie élevage would benefit the domaine's wines. It was showing very well when I tasted it, revealing classic scents of lemon oil, white flowers and chalky soil tones that are defined more by the site than the vintage. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny textured and deep, with good concentration, bright acids and a long, searingly stony finish.

(this wine was bottled last November, while the rest of these '16s were bottled before the 2017 harvest): Healthy pale, bright yellow; the freshest color of these young 2016s. Complex aromas and flavors of lemon zest, underripe pineapple and hazelnut are energized by high-pitched minerality. This penetrating, concentrated wine offers a bracing balance of minerality and acidity, conveying superb density without any sense of weightiness, thanks to the leavening effect of its crushed-stone minerality. A wonderfully elegant, vibrant wine with a rising, resounding finish and superb sappiness. The crop from these old vines was a normal 45 hectoliters per hectare. Clearly the pick of the litter here in 2016 and balanced for a graceful evolution in bottle.
(from a "full normal crop" from very old vines, according to Elsa Matrot): Reduced aromas of peach and pineapple enlivened by calcaire energy. Very concentrated, youthful and balanced, boasting a lovely mineral/acid spine that's already in harmony with the wine's dense, sweet fruit. Finishes firm and lightly phenolic but not bitter, with excellent saline, iodiney grip and terrific subtle, sappy length. Delivers a lovely combination of power and elegance.
