The 2022 Matrot Maranges Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a characterful Pinot Noir from the southern end of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, produced by the highly regarded Domaine Matrot. Sourced from old vines in the Maranges appellation, this wine combines concentration and freshness, offering aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spice, floral notes and earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully structured, with bright acidity supporting flavours of red berries, sour cherry and gentle savoury spice. The old-vine fruit adds depth and texture, while fine tannins provide balance and length. The finish is dry, elegant and persistent, with classic Burgundian charm.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Pinot Noir for those seeking a step up from regional Burgundy, offering added complexity and vineyard character. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 5–8 years as further nuances develop. Pairs beautifully with roast duck, pork loin, mushroom risotto, charcuterie and soft-ripened cheeses.
