2022 Jacques Prieur Montrachet Grand Cru 6pk (6x750ml)

Founded in 1868, Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of Burgundy’s most historically significant estates, distinguished by its rare collection of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Today, the domaine is stewarded by the Labruyère family, with winemaking led by Nadine Gublin, one of Burgundy’s most respected enologists, whose precise, site-driven approach has helped elevate the estate to the highest tier of modern Burgundy while remaining deeply rooted in tradition.

There is no more storied name in white wine than Montrachet. A single, narrow strip of Grand Cru land straddling Chassagne and Puligny, it has commanded the attention of collectors, sommeliers, and wine lovers for centuries — not because of marketing, but because of what the vineyard itself produces: whites of unmatched depth, tension, and length that age for decades and improve with every year in the cellar.

The 2022 vintage stands as the warmest year recorded since the early twentieth century, a season that tested the vines and ultimately revealed their resilience. Early water stress and sustained warmth accelerated the growing cycle, with flowering completed by late May and veraison finishing by mid-August. Well-timed June rains and modest late-summer rainfall allowed the grapes to reach full maturity without compromising freshness. Harvest began on August 29th, capturing fruit at a moment of balance between ripeness and energy.

After settling, fermentation and aging take place entirely in oak barrels, followed by full malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 20 months, a signature of Jacques Prieur’s cellar approach, allowing texture and complexity to develop slowly while preserving site expression.

As Vinous notes, the 2022 vintage is Burgundy’s latest trick — a treasure trove of bright, fresh wines in a season that seemed destined to deliver the opposite.
