PRIEUR JACQUES

10 km from Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy, the story of Domaine Jacques Prieur began in 1868. Two descendants of Burgundy winegrowers acquired promising plots of land around Meursault. Jacques Prieur, the couple's sole heir, then gave his name to the estate. Today, the 21-hectare estate belongs to the Labruyère family. Nadine Gublin is responsible for the technical management of Domaine Jacques Prieur, applying the principles of organic farming.
