Odnośnik do całej imprezy (pralinka) to be continued... Synem Christiana jest Philippe, nie J.J. (dżejdżej;-), czyli Jaen-Jacques https://www.burgundy-report.com/summer-2012/profile-domaine-jean-jacques-confuron-nuits/

The birth of this domaine was the marriage in 1926 of one Jean Confuron of Vosne to an Anne-Marie Bouchard of Premeaux – vines came from both sides of the family and the newly married couple chose to live in Premeaux. All the produce of the domaine was sold in bulk.
Jean and Anne-Marie had two sons; Christian and Jean-Jacques who worked together at the family domaine until 1980 when they chose separate directions* – the family vines were split between them. Jean-Jacques had married Andrée Noëllat from Vosne, one of the Noëllats whose large domaine later became the basis of Domaine Leroy. Andrée had brought to the marriage premier cru vines in Nuits and important parcels of grand cru vines in the Clos de Vougeot and Romanée Saint-Vivant. Sophie Meunier recounts:
Leroy was a neighbour of Charles Noëllat, my mother one of his ‘petite filles’. When Leroy was buying the Noëllat estate my mother said ‘don’t just take cash, take vines too’. So we kept the Romanée St.Vivant, Nuits Boudots and Vosne Beaumonts – and that was nice, because my great-grandfather planted the majority of the vines on those parcels!
Jean-Jacques became ill in 1982, Clive Coates has him dying the following year; so from thereon, Andrée, aided by her daughter Sophie took responsibility for the domaine. In 1988 Sophie married Alain Meunier who she had met whilst at the Lycée Viticole in Beaune; together they took on the control of the domaine and started domaine bottling.
* – Domaine Christian Confuron et Fils (in Vougeot) is now run by Christian’s son, Philippe – the cousin of Sophie Meunier.
