Jacques Prieur Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2018

Estate History

Founded in 1868, **Domaine Jacques Prieur** stands out as one of the few Burgundy domaines to own vineyards across both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits Grands Crus. The **Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru** is among the most prestigious whites of the estate, showcasing finesse, precision, and minerality from one of Burgundy’s highest and most elegant Grand Cru vineyards.

Terroir

Perched above the Montrachet Grand Cru, the **Chevalier-Montrachet** vineyard sits on thin, stony clay-limestone soils with excellent drainage and southeast exposure. The altitude brings natural freshness, while the poor soils limit vine vigor, concentrating the flavors and enhancing aromatic finesse and minerality.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale gold color with green reflections. The nose is pure and intense, revealing aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, pear, almond, and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is elegant and vibrant, with a silky texture, bright acidity, and a long, crystalline, mineral-driven finish.

A refined and majestic Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru — combining purity, tension, and aromatic complexity with remarkable aging potential.

Pairing

Ideal with oysters, lobster, sole meunière, poultry with cream sauce, or aged cheeses like Beaufort and Comté.
