"The 2013 Montrachet Grand Cru comes from Jacques Prieur's two parcels and was harvested on October 3, the same day as the Chevalier-Montrachet. Ten barrels were produced, nine of them new. The nose is fuller than the Chevalier, with roundness and generosity. The palate is crisp and balanced, displaying more depth than the Chevalier and with a long, spicy finish." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 18.5/20 (Wine of exceptional quality)

Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the wine:

Multidimensional, with an enveloping fatness and above all a tension that grabs you and won't let go.

About the domain :

Édouard Labruyère's enthusiasm and determination to position this estate as one of the world's great vintages is unmistakable. His efforts are evident in the vineyard, which has been organically farmed since 1997, in the cellar, where foudres and demi-muids have made their appearance since 2012, and, crucially, in the glass. With its exceptional range of Grands Crus from 22 hectares of vineyards, including 17 hectares in the Côte de Beaune and an exclusive representation of Grands Crus in the Côte de Nuits, this estate has all the attributes to join the elite of the domains Burgundy region.
