he 2020s at Domaine Matrot are outstanding, and the whites rank amongst the best wines I’ve ever tasted from this fine estate.

To say that the 2020s are the best, period, would require deeper knowledge of the older vintages. However, the improvements in recent years have certainly given the Matrot girls a strong foundation on which to shine in a year like 2020.

The 2020s have an effortless yet still intense quality that makes the wines hedonistic without being too powerful or forceful. The 2014 whites are great, but to me, they can sometimes be a bit on the intense side, lacking the effortless, delicate nature of the 2020s. Add to this that the Matrot style is somewhat on the firm side, and the 2020s are a match made in heaven
