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

Wine rated 18.5/20 (Wine of exceptional quality)
Rated estate (2018 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
Multidimensional, with an enveloping richness and, above all, a tension that grabs you and won't let go.
About the estate:
Édouard Labruyère's enthusiasm and determination to position this estate among the ranks of the grands crus are remarkable. His efforts are evident in the vineyard, which has been farmed organically since 1997, in the cellar, where foudres and demi-muids have been used since 2012, and, most importantly, 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 selection of grands crus in the Côte de Nuits, this estate has all the attributes to join the elite of Burgundy estates.
