✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Domaine Prieuré Roch, the 'Clous Pure' is a remarkable expression of Pinot Noir that showcases the estate's radical commitment to natural winemaking. The grapes are sourced from 'Les Clous', a parcel situated within the historic commune of Vosne-Romanée, though classified under the regional Bourgogne AOC. The 'Pure' designation indicates that this cuvée is crafted with absolutely no added sulfur dioxide at any stage of vinification or bottling. Utilizing 100% whole-cluster fermentation and native yeasts, this wine captures the raw, energetic pulse of its clay-limestone terroir. It is celebrated for its wild, untamed aromatic profile of forest berries, damp earth, and exotic spices, wrapped in a vibrant, living texture that defines the late Henry-Frédéric Roch's visionary philosophy.
