Domaine Prieure Roch's Cuvee 1 is a captivating and highly sought-after expression that showcases the estate's avant-garde approach to Burgundian winemaking. This unique bottling is typically crafted as a multi-vintage or multi-parcel blend of the domaine's Premier Cru vineyards, often drawing from their exceptional holdings in Nuits-Saint-Georges, including the famed monopole Clos des Corvees. Born from a philosophy of absolute minimal intervention, the wine is produced using 100% whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts and is bottled without filtration or added sulfur. This traditional, hands-off methodology yields a deeply aromatic and wild Pinot Noir, celebrated for its complex layers of dark berries, exotic spices, damp earth, and the signature floral lift derived from stem inclusion.
