Domaine Jacques Prieur is a Burgundy producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of the region's most prestigious communes. The domaine produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines from vineyard holdings across the Côte d'Or, with a particular focus on premier and grand cru sites.

Gevrey-Chambertin and Puligny-Montrachet represent two of Burgundy's finest terroirs—the former renowned for structured, complex Pinot Noirs with mineral depth, the latter for refined and age-worthy white wines from Chardonnay. Both communes demand precise viticulture and careful winemaking to express the subtleties of their individual vineyard sites (climat). The domaine's current range includes both a premier cru red from Gevrey-Chambertin and a premier cru white from Puligny-Montrachet, Les Combettes, reflecting work across these distinct expressions of Burgundian winemaking.

Gevrey-Chambertin is a village appellation in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, located in northeastern France. The commune encompasses both village-level wines and Premier Cru designations, which represent specific vineyard sites within the appellation. The village gained its hyphenated name in the 19th century by adding "Chambertin" — one of its most prestigious vineyard parcels — to its original name of Gevrey.

The appellation's vineyards sit on east-facing slopes with a limestone-rich substrate typical of the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin produces exclusively Pinot Noir under Burgundian regulations, with winemaking focused on expressing the subtle variations between individual vineyard sites rather than blending across large areas. The region's continental climate, with morning sun exposure and afternoon protection, creates conditions suited to Pinot Noir's ripening requirements.

Gevrey-Chambertin wines are characterized by black cherry and dark red fruit aromatics, often with earthy undertones and spice notes that develop with bottle age. The wines typically display moderate to firm tannin structure and acidity that supports aging potential. Premier Cru bottlings from the appellation show greater complexity and concentration than village-level examples, with individual vineyard expressions influenced by subtle variations in slope exposure and soil composition.
