A prestigious signature awarded top marks by critics, the Domaine Jacques Prieur stands out in the world of French viticulture. Its success and image are inextricably linked to the figure of Nadine Gublin, its resident winemaker since 1990, who has successfully crafted a formidable, precise, and uncompromising style.

Adored by many, this address is quickly snapped up, and the wines quickly sold out. Fortunately, in 2013, a small, haute-couture negoce was born, still under the aegis of Nadine Gublin and using the same codes of excellence as the historic house, with organic viticulture and partnerships with seasoned Côte de Nuits and Pouilly-Fuissé winemakers. In 2018, 8.5 hectares of property were added to the range, managed entirely by the Maison from vine to cellar. 

It's precisely these wines from the estate vineyards that we're offering you today in this exceptional allocation; the precision of execution, the perfect measure of maturation: nothing is left to chance, and to exactitude is added again and again, the personal expression of Nadine Gublin.
