Since 1868, Domaine Jacques Prieur has created one of the rarest mosaics of terroirs in Burgundy. Today it is probably the only estate owning vineyards on the greatest appellations both of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits: Chambertin, Musigny, Clos Vougeot, Echézeaux, Corton, Meursault or Montrachet. This amazing collection is completed by other prestigious appellations and three clos monopole sites. Several of these phenomenal parcels of vines were snapped up at the turn of the 20th century by Jacques’ great uncle, while Jacques himself gained fame for instituting, with comtes Jules Lafon, the famous Paulée de Meursault, and as co-founder of the legendary Chevaliers du Tastevin. Current custodians, the Labruyère family of southern Burgundy, became involved in 1988 when, unified with four other prominent French families, it rescued the estate from falling into the hands of foreign investors. The domaine, which switched to 100% organic viticulture in 2000, is nowadays run Edouard Labruyère alongside the heirs of the Prieur family. The warm and acutely intelligent Nadine Gublin serves as oenologist, a position she has held since 1990. Steeped in tradition and armed with a quality-at-allGrape variaty: Chardonnay

The 2011 Domaine Jacques Prieur Montrachet Grand Cru is an exquisite expression of one of Burgundy’s most revered white wine appellations. Sourced from the legendary Montrachet Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune, this wine embodies both the richness and finesse that define the finest Chardonnays of the region.

On the palate, the 2011 Montrachet Grand Cru is both opulent and precise, with a beautifully structured balance between creamy texture and vibrant acidity. Flavors of baked pear, lemon curd, hazelnut, and vanilla bean unfold elegantly, leading to a long, lingering finish with a touch of salinity and refined oak influence.
