Three events have taken this jewel of an estate back towards the very highest level in Burgundy. The first was the purchase of the majority share from the Prieur family by Jean-Pierre Labruyère in 1988. The second was the appointment in 1990 of the great Nadine Gublin to be in charge of all the winemaking, and the third was the succession of Jean-Pierre Labruyère’s son Edouard to manage the estates in 2008. It is this blend of youth, vision, experience and tradition that has engineered the extraordinary renaissance at Domaine Jacques Prieur and rendered profound a quality that had been somnolent for far too long.
"The 2015 vintage in a nutshell: a lot of sunshine, not a lot of water and a very hot June and July. The high luminosity and heat meant everything was accelerated: flowering at the beginning of June, véraison at the beginning of August and harvest in early September. Beaune Blanc 1er Cru Clos de la Féguine Monople is a small parcel, just 0.3 hectares, at the top of the slope with limestone soils, west of Beaune Grèves. Seven barrels were made, of which only one was new. Floral and delicate, with white peach and a hint of pastry on the nose.
