Why it matters
The producer
Labruyère family leads Domaine Jacques Prieur with support from Prieur family heirs. The domaine represents one of Burgundy's rarest mosaics of terroirs, with vineyards in both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Its holdings bring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay together across grand cru and premier cru appellations.
