Matrot, Blagny Premier Cru, La Piece Sous le Bois

이런걸 블라니만의 개성이라고 해야할까? 정형화 할 순 없지만 분명 뉘나 본과는 다른 피노의 결이 흥미롭다. 예전에 벤자민 르루의 라 피에스 수 르 부아 때도 느낀 약간의 스위트하면서도 진한 체리과실이 이 빨간 뮈르소에서도 강렬하게 탐지된다. 하지만 이름처럼 과실 뒤에서 매력적으로 맛을 이끄는 숲 바닥 (수 부아)의 뉘앙스, 그리고 무겁지 않은 질감과 섬세한 텍스쳐가 과실의 달콤함을 기분 좋게 들여올려준다. (3/5)

2019 vintage

Barnyard aromas, big fruit notes in the mouth. Medium finish.

2018 vintage

Very green surprisingly. Big fruit, medium acidity. Not fully developed yet, best after 2027

2018 vintage

Brief notes from a social event. Earthy base with intense sour cherry fruit. Mineral notes of flint and floral notes of pressed flowers. Nicely juicy palate, balanced with decent concentration. This was round and highly pleasurable, but not as lofty as previous bottles. None the less, probably one of the best vintages for the Blagny rouge.

2019 vintage

Tasted on Oct 11th, 2025 A: medium ruby N: pronounced primary / medium secondary / medium tertiary - fresh strawberry, raspberry, red cherry - vanilla, smoke - leather, mushroom, earth P: dry, med+ acidity, med tannin, med alcohol, medium body, pronounced intensity, primary-secondary-tertiary flavour, medium-long finish 2hr decanting overall: 93

2019 vintage

Very complex with lots of sous bois. Silky palate. Plush fruit, just ripe, some sucrosity. Touch of heat towards the back. Lots of sucrosity. Framing of new oak. Blood and iron towards the backplate. Lingering finish. Better and better with time.

2019 vintage

An amazing precise and punch-in-the-face raspberry and rhubarb fruit. Also sour cherry compote. Cool herbal base and layered meaty complexity of smoked meat and dried meat. Adds darker floral perfume. The palate is beautifully sumptuous, not a single hard edge to be found anywhere. Still sufficiently juicy. While I found the palate to be less complex than the nose and didn’t appear to full commit, there is good tension. An outstanding vintage for this wine.

2019 vintage

Amazing QPR at $45 a couple years back fr Benchmark. The color was dark ruby w no bricking and the fruit was still quite juicy and big with a touch of smoke and smooth body, although the finish was medium minus. No real burgundy musk to the nose and some thought this was OR pinot in the 10ish year age range. All in all, pretty great for a 20 year pinot bought for a song with still likely much life …

2005 vintage

Expressive mix of red and black fruits of medium+ intensity. Palette shows good depth and some rusticity / tannins (compared to the Volnay). Finish is medium+. Would pair really well with food or enjoyed on its own. At tasting with Adele Matrot in New York. 91pts

2018 vintage

Translucent brick red. Nose initially red fruits, later smokey, savoury tones. Smooth and elegant in texture with underlying fruit but soft, enveloping tannins leading to a sweet, gentle, haunting finish. Certainly past its youth but not breaking up from old age. Very mature with fruit subdued and hanging loosely on the tannic skeleton.

2005 vintage

Fruit of sour cherry and rhubarb and raspberry along with fresh, green herbs. Round palate with lively acids and a highly palatable fresh fruit. The tannin add a firmer structure and figure as a runway for the acidity to unfold. Also appealingly sweet. Consistently a big pleasure to drink.

2019 vintage

Super pinot, full expressif, top!

2019 vintage

Tasted at a private La Paulée event in Zurich: 2 consistent bottles. Only brief notes… Meaty base notes with defined and pure sour cherry fruit. Minty herbs add freshness. Juicy, balanced and round palate.

2019 vintage

Pure fruit of sour cherry with smoky and meaty overlays. Also pressed herbs with a fresher minty touch. Incredibly fresh palate, nicely fruity and with good tension. Perfectly approachable and already in an amazing spot, but with sufficient structure for easily another 10+ years. A consistently good wine and best bottle so far.

2019 vintage

Color is a deep garnet with a ruby rim. The nose feels almost underripe, there’s a certain popcorn smell that hints pyrazines to me, along with some light green notes/stemminess. Otherwise, the nose is meaty but bright, with red cherry, milk chocolate, and dried orange peel. The medium bodied palate is similarly bright and a bit green, with cherry and orange citrus coming through. While I may not seek it out again, this is an interesting bottle that, while a …

2018 vintage

Brief notes from social event. Meaty and savory base of smoked meat with a minty character. Fruit of sour cherry and raspberry jam. Great tension and balance.

2019 vintage

Brief notes: Fruit of sour cherry, raspberry compote and brighter accents of rhubarb. Minor raw meaty complexity. Perfume scents, fresh peppermint and wet moss add diverse dimensions and make this a highly appealing wine. The structure is light and mostly relies on acidity. The fruit is mostly sour cherry here. Good balance and decent length. In this category and price bracket a must-have, in my view. Did not decant, but it took easily 30-45min in the glass for this to …

2019 vintage

Wild strawberry, mint, high acid and tannin. A beaut. Acidity is just a bit high, but can be enjoyed now.

2019 vintage

Spicy red fruit with a nice earthiness. Just medium-bodied, really well-balanced. Delightful.

2019 vintage

Popped and poured; enjoyed over a 90 minute period. The 2019 “La Pièce sous le Bois” pours a glossy ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, well…the nose is gorgeous, if not downright sexy. Freshly picked, perfectly ripened strawberries, porchini, forest floor and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and …

2019 vintage

Lovely freshness with good underlying fruit. Well balanced except alcohol a little prominent

2005 vintage

Wood more than fruit, disappointing for the vintage

2005 vintage

Absolutely brilliant nose. Bright red fruit nose. Very Volnay in many ways. The palate is more structured. Earthy. Quite wonderful finsh. I love this wine!

2019 vintage

Brilliant! Very Volnay in many ways. Aromatic. Sexy.

2019 vintage

Absolutely stunning nose. The palate is a little linear but this is so sexy and very Volnay like. Beautiful wine.

2019 vintage

Orange tinge. Soil, earthy nose overlaid with red fruits (raspberry canes), cherries. Touch of toast. On palate sweetness of fruit and alcohol. Silky texture but only if fruit comes through and the fruit is elusive. Fresh, clean character. Moderate length of finish but at end begins to burn as alcohol comes through. Lacks intensity. Past it?

2005 vintage

corked

2005 vintage

Past peak. Flavors don't have focus. The structure is flabby.

2007 vintage

decanted off modest wispy sediment, followed over 3 hours. deep cranberry red; moderated aromatics over 1st hour, then turned soil, bramble leaf, plum compote; med+ weight; notably earthy initially, evolved to dark plums & wild berries on top of the soil notes, concentrated & more on the savory side of the spectrum, entering drinking window, w/excellent balance & savoir faire; remained lively throughout. pan-roasted chicken thighs; butterbeans, sweet corn & chanterelles

2005 vintage

Has lost fruit a little. But still elegant and with a long finish. Very pleasant.

2005 vintage

This is a very approachable and delicious burgundy. Gamey and earthy with a medium full body. Mature and ready to go. Drank from Coravin. Great stand alone wine or with lighter meats like chicken. Drink now

2005 vintage

Excellent nose (B++). Soft, but very good palate (B+).

2007 vintage

Solid structure, acid plus but pure and ripe. Round and pleasant mouth feel. would drink inthe next 2-3 years.

2005 vintage

Cork disintegrated but did not spoil the wine. Rusty red color. Aromas of cherry cough lozenges. Rich dark cherry flavors with some cedar and leather overtones. Nice lengthy finish. At prime.

2005 vintage

Took four hours to really open up but starting to get nice tertiary aromas of forest floor and mushrooms.

2003 vintage

A little bit on the soft side, but decent complexity.

2007 vintage

Excellent upon opening and even better the second night. Cherry to dark fruited profile, with some savory notes. Very substantial in weight and texture. Open and generous. Definitely in a prime drinking window, but shows no sign of fading.

2005 vintage

Agreed with previous notes here that the wine is quite substantial on the palate in terms of mouthfeel. Nose has some tertiary flavors coming out, but I find the wine quite tight and I think it needs at least a few more years.

2005 vintage

This is drinking very well. Bright red cherry color. Lovely nose of cherry fruit that's robust and juicy, along with mineral and earth notes. In the mouth, focused, linear, and very pretty, with juicy fruit that coats the palate nicely. A strong hit of acidity with a sappy finish. This is in a really pretty, forward place right now. A-

2005 vintage

Slightly oxidised character on nose and palate but with exposure to air the sweet underlying fruit came through. Stay optimistic. Try mid-2017

2005 vintage

Extremely expressive nose of blackcurrant syrup and vanilla. Very good. Like it! Palate is also powerful and nice. Consistant with last tasting. 50+5+13+15+8 (91p)

2003 vintage

Really exited about this wine. Have heard a lot lately about the fact that 2003-burghs have tremendous longevity because of the record-warm vintage and the resulting tannic structure of the wines. When I saw this one at my vendor in the '03 vintage, considered by many to be Matrot's most prestigous red, I found out it was time to try a '03 again. Seven years since my last visit with red burgs from this vintage. Back then the late Denis …

2003 vintage

Savory infused red berry nose, with some charred oak notes. Very silky and a rich, high viscosity palate that has plenty of energy to prevent it from becoming cloying. This is in a great spot and not closed down like many 05s, but no hurry to drink either as it will age for a while .

2005 vintage

Cherry red hue. Somewhat sour red fruits; fine tannins; fresh acidity; developing some tertiary flavours. Unfortunately somewhat light in overt fruit at present but there is some intensity there. Do not give up yet. Try 2016.

2005 vintage

Une appellation et un producteur dont j'ignorais tout! Nez discret de petites fraises, de framboise, ça pinotte. La bouche est de corps léger, très élégante, voluptueuse. avec beaucoup de fraicheur. C'est un vin pur et jouissif, somptueux, d'un équilibre exceptionnel. Zéro glamour mais plaisir complet, une énorme surprise grâce à l'excellent sommelier de la Maison du Colombier à Beaune. 92 pts

2007 vintage

excellent; I don't think it will evolve much beyond this, but should be drinking well for several years, depending on storage conditions. Good acidity and balance.

2007 vintage

nu erg stug in de aanvang, donkerrood fruit, mineraal, werd de 2de dag al veel mooier, kleine rondingen. nog even geduld

2005 vintage

Fresh like a vinous mountain stream. Long, sweet finish.

2005 vintage

Still early for this wine, but showing well.

2005 vintage

Just barely "Very good". Light red. Small nose with red berries, restrained PN character and miniscule minerality. On the palate this shows a brilliant transparency, but very little to place in the empty void. Delicious for sure. Acids and red berries in fine balance and slightly bitter tannins á la young wine. Light body, ok finish and *yawn*. I would never buy. If I had bought one, I'd let it rest until ~2020. At Sogo Riedel Bar, Yokohama.

2007 vintage
