✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1988 by the late Henry-Frédéric Roch—grandson of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Henry Leroy and long-time DRC co-director—Domaine Prieuré Roch stands as a vanguard of natural, terroir-driven viticulture in Burgundy. Headquartered in Prémeaux-Prissey, the domaine encompasses exceptional parcels across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, rooted in classic jurassic limestone and clay-rich soils. Managed and vinified by co-director and cellar master Yannick Champ, the estate adheres rigorously to organic and biodynamic viticulture, entirely eschewing synthetic chemicals. Cellar methodology emphasizes uncompromised traditionalism, characterized by whole-cluster vinifications with native yeasts, manual punch-downs in open wooden vats, aging in seasoned French oak without sulfur additions until bottling, and no fining or filtration. Benchmark cuvées include the celebrated monopoles Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Clos des Corvées and Vosne-Romanée Clos Goillotte, alongside prized Grand Crus Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and Clos de Vougeot, delivering intensely aromatic, deeply textured, and profoundly expressive Pinot Noir.
