A prestigious name, consistently awarded top honors by critics, Domaine Jacques Prieur stands at the pinnacle of French viticulture. It is also the only estate to own a third of the Grands Crus in Côte-d'Or.

Its success and reputation are inseparable from Nadine Gublin, who has been the estate’s winemaker since 1990. With her unwavering precision and uncompromising approach, she has shaped a signature style of remarkable finesse and depth.

Under the guidance of the Labruyère family, this historic estate in the heart of the Côte de Beaune is experiencing what may be its finest era yet. Renowned for its exceptional terroir and the sheer quality of its wines, it is more than a safe bet—it is an essential reference. Farmed organically since 1997 (currently in the process of certification), its 30 hectares produce grapes of outstanding quality, vinified with masterful expertise. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the precision of execution to the measured approach to barrel aging. Yet beyond technical mastery, the wines also bear the personal, unmistakable imprint of Nadine Gublin.
