The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of Burgundy’s most prestigious estates, recognized as the only domaine to own a third of the Grands Crus in the Côte d’Or.

At the heart of its success is Nadine Gublin, head winemaker since 1990, whose precise and uncompromising approach has defined the estate’s signature style. Under the ownership of the Labruyère family, the domaine has reached new heights, producing wines that are benchmarks of quality and terroir expression.

Farming organically since 1997 (now certified), the estate’s 30 hectares yield exceptional grapes, crafted into wines with meticulous care. From thoughtful use of oak to refined winemaking techniques, every step is executed to perfection, with Gublin’s expertise adding a unique touch. Domaine Jacques Prieur is more than a reliable choice—it’s a cornerstone of Burgundy’s winemaking heritage.
Wine The Labruyère family is the largest owner of this early-ripening terroir, an extension of Meursault-Charmes, with precisely 1.4917 hectares. Set on limestone scree and silt soils, this exceptional 2021 White Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Combette offers a Chardonnay of remarkable appeal. It reveals toasted, grilled notes layered with delicate citrus accents, complemented by a savory, fresh, and seamless texture. A truly versatile wine that captures the essence of its exceptional terroir.
Vinification Hand harvested, whole grapes pressed, settled, alcoholic and malolactic fermentations and aged for 18 months 100% in oak barrels.
