Domaine Prieuré Roch's Grand Cru red wines represent the pinnacle of natural winemaking applied to Burgundy's most sacred terroirs, such as Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and Clos de Vougeot. Founded by Henry-Frédéric Roch, who was also the co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, the estate employs ancient, non-interventionist methods to craft these rare masterpieces. The Grand Cru Pinot Noir grapes are harvested by hand at peak maturity and fermented entirely as whole clusters with native yeasts, without any added sulfur or temperature control. This uncompromising philosophy, rooted in respect for the soil's microbiology, yields wines of extraordinary aromatic complexity, wild energy, and profound depth. These Grand Crus are legendary for their haunting notes of dark berries, exotic spices, and forest floor, embodying the pure, unadulterated soul of Burgundy's finest vineyards.
