Jerome Chezeaux

The Chezeaux domaine was built on the foundations of an estate owned since 1930 by Julien Missery. Bernard Chezeaux acceded to the ownership of the domaine in 1971 selling most of the wines produced there to negociants during his reign. On his untimely death in 1993, his son, Jérome, took over the direction of the domaine and had his intention set to increase the amount of wine bottled at the estate.

The estate, which is based in Prémeaux-Prissey just south of Nuits Saint Georges, owns approximately 12 hectares of vineyards. Some of  these hectares were brought into play from the family holdings of Jérome’s wife, Pierrette. The vineyards are scattered throughout the villages of Prémeaux, Nuits Saint Georges, Vougeot and Vosne Romanée.

Today, the domaine is a true father-and-daughter team, with Jérôme’s dynamic and enthusiastic daughter Lyse employed full-time since 2019. Lyse has spearheaded the creation of several new single-vineyard bottlings, thereby expanding the domaine’s already formidable representation of these special southern-Côte-de-Nuits terroirs.
