Renowned for its prestige and crowned with the highest critical acclaim, Domaine Jacques Prieur stands among the stars of French winemaking. Its success and reputation are inseparable from Nadine Gublin, the esteemed winemaker since 1990, who has crafted a formidable style—precise and uncompromising.

Beloved by many, this estate's wines are quickly snapped up and often sell out rapidly. Fortunately, in 2013, another high-end venture emerged: Labruyère-Prieur, still under the guidance of Nadine Gublin and embracing the same standards of excellence as the historic house. With meticulous execution and perfectly judged aging, nothing is left to chance. To this precision, Nadine Gublin always adds her personal touch.
