Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Rouge 2023 2020 Merlot (52%) & Cabernet SauvignonScrewcap. Lightish cherry red. Juicy and with that tightness that I like from this combination of closure and wine style. Excellent example of generic burgundy has lively fruit, fine tannins and unexpected length, all at a good price. Fine tannins are just right with the lightish body.
