Domaine Jacques Prieur Chambertin 2022 Bouteille (75cl)
The 2022 Domaine Jacques Prieur Chambertin is a red Burgundy wine from the Chambertin parcel in Gevrey-Chambertin, classified as a Grand Cru. It is made exclusively from Pinot Noir. The grapes, harvested by hand and entirely destemmed, underwent a 17-day maceration in temperature-controlled wooden vats. Ageing lasted for 21 months in oak barrels. The estate describes the 2022 as dense and refined, driven by fresh dark fruit, a smoky touch and silky tannins.

Domaine Jacques Prieur
Domaine Jacques Prieur is a wine estate based in Meursault, whose vineyards cover 21 hectares between the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. Stemming from the history of the Duvergey-Taboureau and Prieur families, it is now run by the Labruyère family alongside the Prieur heirs. Its plots include, in particular, Burgundian grands crus and premiers crus, as well as three monopole vineyards.

Histoire du domaine
The origins of Domaine Jacques Prieur date back to 24 February 1868, the date of the marriage in Bligny-lès-Beaune between Claude Duvergey and Marie Taboureau, both from families with links to winegrowing. Claude Duvergey first founded the trading house Duvergey-Taboureau, which specialised in wines and spirits. In 1879, he acquired the Herbeux estate in Meursault, which became the heart of the domaine, and then embarked on a policy of acquiring vineyards. Faced with phylloxera, he adopted American vines as a solution for replanting following the introduction of this remedy in 1886. In 1889, the estate expanded to include, notably, the Clos de Mazeray in Meursault, as well as vineyards in Volnay Santenots, Clos Vougeot and Chambolle-Musigny. In 1920, Claude Duvergey passed his holdings on to his grand-nephew, Jacques Prieur. Jacques Prieur founded the Paulée de Meursault with Count Jules Lafon in 1924. On the death of Marie Duvergey-Taboureau in 1935, he became the estate’s sole owner. He named the estate after himself in 1956; following his death in 1965 and that of his wife in 1974, the estate passed to his six children. In 1988, several French families, including the Labruyères, acquired a stake in the estate; the Labruyère family now runs the estate alongside the Prieur heirs. Nadine Gublin, the estate’s oenologist since 1990, has been in charge of technical management since 2009.
Chambertin
Chambertin is both a physically demarcated climat in Gevrey-Chambertin and the eponymous terroir of a Grand Cru appellation reserved for red wines. It occupies the middle of the slope, with an easterly exposure and a relatively moderate gradient compared to the neighboring Clos de Bèze. Its shallow, stony calcareous brown soils overlie entroquitic limestones and Bajocian marls, with a Bathonian component in the upper part.

Histoire de la parcelle
The name Chambertin has been known since the 13th century, and its winegrowing potential has been recognized for centuries. Thomas Jefferson cited it among his favorite wines in 1787, while Napoleon I's predilection for this wine contributed to its renown. In 1855, Jules Lavalle classified it as "Tête de cuvée, cru hors ligne, vin extra". On October 17, 1847, its name was joined to that of Gevrey to form Gevrey-Chambertin; the Chambertin appellation was officially recognized on July 31, 1937.
