Information
About the producer

The Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of the most prestigious domains in Burgundy. It is the only domain with vines in the five mythic appellations of Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Charlemagne and Montrachet. Since 2007, 70% of the domain is owned by the Labruyère family (Clos du Moulin at Moulin-à-vent and Château Rouget at Pommerol), who bought Antonin Rodet's shares. Jean-Pierre Labruyère is the manager. The other 30% is still owned by the Prieur heirs. Half of the distribution is taken care of by Antonin Rodet and the other half by the domain. The wines are vinified by Nadine Gublin since 1990, renowned oenologist for her work, the precision and the quality of her wines. It is now one of the most prestigious from Burgundy. It is the only domain with vines in the five biggest iconic appellations of Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Charlemagne and Montrachet.

About the wine

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is located in the commune of Puligny. The origin of the name can be traced back to when the Lord of Puligny passed this plot to his eldest son, the "Chevalier". Compared to its big brother, Montrachet, this seven-hectare vineyard produces a Chardonnay with less exuberant but more mineral substance. Jacques Prieur's Chevalier-Montrachet represents the very summit of the appellation's production. It is a very clean wine with an impressive sophistication.
