A 3rd generation vintner, Thierry Matrot has studied oenology, but values the powers of observation taught to him by his father. Technology has made winemaking easier, but Matrot's approach has changed little. Follow the vines. Follow the grapes. Let every vintage be different. His 2012 bottling is a blend of 11 different parcels and aged in used oak only. It's splendid.
