MATROT THIERRY & PASCALE

Thierry and Pascale Matrot have been managing the eponymous domaine since 2000. Located in Meursault, Côte-d'Or, south of Dijon, this estate has been producing Burgundy wines for almost two centuries. Worthy heirs to family traditions, they continue to produce with respect for the terroir. To achieve this, they follow the principle of "agriculture raisonnée" (sustainable agriculture). Their daughters Adèle and Elsa joined them in 2008. They represent the new generation of Domaine Matrot Thierry et Pascale.
