Domaine du Prieuré

What Domaine du Prieuré does

Domaine du Prieuré is a fourth-generation, family-owned Burgundy wine estate headquartered at 23 route de Beaune in Savigny-lès-Beaune, France, structured as an SCEA with €300,000 of share capital. The estate produces a portfolio of roughly 14 wines across white and red Burgundy appellations, ranging from regional Bourgogne Aligoté and Pinot Noir, through Savigny-lès-Beaune village cuvées, to three premier crus (Savigny-l\u00e8s-Beaune 1er cru Les Lavi\u00e8res and Les Hauts Jarrons, Beaune 1er cru Les Champs Pimont) and a Volnay village wine from vines planted in 1939. Production relies on traditional Burgundy methods: high-density planting at 11,000 vines per hectare, manual harvesting with dual sorting, temperature-controlled fermentation in open vats, and aging in French oak barrels with new oak calibrated between 0-30% by appellation. The estate is in organic conversion (initiated in 2020) with multiple SKUs already BIO certified by Ecocert France, and is operated by Stephen and Lucie Maurice following a 2015 generational handover.
