Tasting: Matrot Puligny-Montrachet Chalumeaux 2007

Tasted out of a half-bottle. Rich aromas of flowers and a bit of honey, none of the brighter citrus or mineral I’d expect from a 2007 Puligny, especially considering that Chalumeaux is upslope and a bit steeper than many of the other 1ers crus. No undue oak treatment apparent. A bit hot however and lacking the definition and structure of the vintage. About as low in acid as any white Burgundy I’ve tasted in this vintage. To be fair, Matrot has never been a producer I’ve liked very much and Chalumeaux is squarely in the second tier of Puligny vineyards, still I expected a bit more cut. Drink soon.
