Seul Jean Prieur had a descent and since nearly two centuries, this heritage was transmitted from generation to generation as the family tree testifies some which goes back to XVIIe century. Thus it is succeeded Jean Prieur and his brother Claude, Claude Prieur Ponnelle, Jean-Baptiste Prieur Blondeau, Jules Prieur Saladin, Georges Prieur Collin. In 1955, thanks to the union of Guy Prieur and Elisabeth Brunet, native of Meursault, the Winegrowing takes a new departure and becomes the Prior-Brunet Winegrowing because of the contribution of an important family vineyard on Meursault. From this union were born two girls, Dominique and Chantal. Dominique, after a commercial vat, passed with her husband to the faculty of enology of Dijon, his diploma in 1978. Speaking usually English and German, it is with pleasure that she likes to receive the many customers with the cellar.

“The 2011, specify me the likeable one and impassioned Bernard Chapelle, for the whole of Burgundy, is one vintage pleasant and, in certain appellations it will be of guard. In Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet, the yields are weak, normal in Pommard and Volnay, and the whole will give very beautiful things. The difference will be felt from one piece to another, the trade was not mistaken there since almost all that could be bought it was at the end of December. For the culture, it was one year terribly early in spring, a precocity which was stopped by the very poor time of July. If the beginning of cycle were very easy, it was necessary to be vigilant at the end of July and at the beginning of August, but, the vine behaved well. We began the grape harvest on August 31st, the superb time of at the end of August and September brought a beautiful maturity. I would say that this vintage 2011 ranges between 2007 and 2008, it will be more guard than the 2007, without being on the level of 2008, but one vintage with a style very Burgundy, with beautiful colors.” Superb Santenay Field Bellefond 2010.2009, colored, cordial, with the nose of overripe red fruits and violet, very robust, rich with the nose as in mouth, which continues its excellent evolution (14,40€).
