Confuron Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 1996 from a 0.4982 ha holding

The 1996 Romanée-Saint-Vivant of Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron comes from a holding of 0.4982 ha, the fifth-largest in the appellation. It is a Grand Cru red made from Pinot Noir and sold here as a 0.75 L bottle.

The holding consists of two cadastral plots, 300 and 298, in the northern part of the appellation, between the holdings of Hudelot-Noëllat and Leroy. The parcel is planted with old vines. The vines came to the estate through Andrée Noëllat, wife of Jean-Jacques Confuron.

Jean-Jacques Confuron’s branch of the family, Prémeaux-Prissey

The domaine is based in Prémeaux-Prissey, near Nuits-Saint-Georges. Its vineyards lie in the Côte de Nuits and include Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny and the grands crus Clos de Vougeot and Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Jean-Jacques Confuron died in 1983, after which his wife Andrée and daughter Sophie ran the estate. In 1988 Sophie and her husband Alain Meunier returned and began domaine bottling.

This is the estate of Jean-Jacques Confuron’s branch of the family. After the 1980 division of the family estate, his brother Christian set up a separate domaine in Vougeot, Domaine Christian Confuron et Fils.
