✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Prieure Roch's Blanc is a rare, highly sought-after expression of white Burgundy that defies conventional expectations. Sourced from organically farmed parcels, notably within the Ladoix appellation (such as the 'Le Cloud' vineyard), this Chardonnay is crafted using the estate's signature natural winemaking philosophy. The late Henry-Frederic Roch applied the same uncompromising methods to his whites as his legendary reds: whole-cluster pressing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging on its lees in oak barrels with absolutely no added sulfur. This minimal-intervention approach yields a wine of incredible texture, energy, and complexity, characterized by a slightly cloudy appearance, vibrant orchard fruit, wild herbal notes, and a distinct saline minerality that speaks directly to the limestone soils of the region.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1988 by the visionary late Henry-Frédéric Roch, co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Prieuré Roch is a revered estate based in Prémeaux-Prisey within Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. A dedicated pioneer of natural, organic, and biodynamic viticulture, the domaine champions a pure, low-intervention philosophy defined by whole-cluster fermentation, indigenous yeasts, and no added sulfur. Its celebrated holdings span prized terroirs across the region, anchored by the iconic monopole Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Clos des Corvées alongside rare Grand Cru parcels in Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Prieuré Roch wines are internationally celebrated for their ethereal complexity, energetic aromatics, and uncompromisingly authentic expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
