The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A prestigious signature, crowned with the highest critical acclaim, Domaine Jacques Prieur shines at the very summit of French winemaking. It is also the only estate to hold a third of the Côte-d'Or’s Grands Crus.

Its success and reputation are inseparable from Nadine Gublin, the estate’s lead winemaker since 1990, who has shaped a style of remarkable precision, uncompromising yet elegant.

Under the stewardship of the Labruyère family, this historic Beaune estate is arguably living its finest hours. Grand in its range of terroirs and in the quality of its wines, the domaine is more than a safe bet—it’s an essential reference. Managed organically since 1997 (currently in certification), its thirty hectares deliver exceptional fruit, crafted with masterful care. Every detail, from precise winemaking to measured aging, is executed flawlessly, with Nadine Gublin’s personal touch adding unique expression.
Wine The 2020 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Red is an exceptional Burgundy built for long aging, having spent nearly two years in barrels. Sourced from a 1.28-hectare plot in the 14 Journaux area—one of the most clay-rich sections of the Clos—it expresses remarkable depth. From the first aromas, it reveals a highly complex bouquet of black fruits, green pepper, eucalyptus, and rose.
On the palate, it is powerful, rich, and intensely refined, unfolding sumptuous, fleshy fruit flavors, elevated by layers of spice—clove, black pepper, and nutmeg—all framed by dense, vibrant tannins. With extraordinary aging potential, this wine will reach its full expression over the next ten years and beyond.
Vinification Hand harvested. 35% whole bunches and 75% destemmed, 21 days of vinification in open wooden vats, 2 punch downs per day during the active phase of alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation carried out in full. Aged in oak barrels for 21 months.
