Jérôme Chezeaux

Career Since 1993, the winemaking work at Domaine Jérôme Chezeaux in Premeaux-Prissey, France, has sat with Jérôme Chezeaux, placing him inside a family-rooted estate where continuity carries weight. The line of transmission is direct: the profession was mainly passed down to him by his father, so the craft reads as inherited practice, then tested and refined over time.

The Path

Training at Lycée Viticole in Beaune gave structure to Jérôme Chezeaux’s work, anchoring it in Burgundy’s everyday vineyard-and-cellar discipline. That formal study sat alongside family transmission, joining technical schooling to the values already present at the domaine. The result is a role built on long attention, repetition, and responsibility rather than a single break with the past.

The Work Today

From 1993 to the present, the direction of Domaine Jérôme Chezeaux has combined managerial responsibility with hands-on winemaking. In that setting, Jérôme Chezeaux’s name is attached not to a one-off release, but to the ongoing character of the house itself. The emphasis is on continuity: same estate, same place, same standards carried forward year after year.

Signature

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Les Chaumes" and Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Pruliers" are the signature wines tied to Jérôme Chezeaux. Those named cuvées place his work squarely in Burgundy’s parcel-led tradition, where a domaine is read through the precision of its cru designations. For an artisan, that is where identity is carried: in the exactness of place, and in how consistently it is expressed.

Acclaim

Continuity is the clearest marker of recognition here. Since 1993, Jérôme Chezeaux has held the same responsibility at the domaine bearing his name, and that duration is itself the measure of his standing. The distinction is not framed by a single prize or headline, but by a career sustained in Premeaux-Prissey, France, through inheritance, discipline, and persistence.
