✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Prieuré Roch's 'La Goillotte' is a legendary and highly exclusive monopole nestled in the very heart of Vosne-Romanée, situated just a stone's throw from the historic Château de Vosne-Romanée and the vines of La Tâche. Spanning a mere 0.55 hectares, this walled vineyard boasts a rich heritage, once serving as the private garden of the Prince de Conti. The terroir consists of deep, clay-limestone soils that yield Pinot Noir of extraordinary aromatic complexity and silkiness. True to the estate's philosophy, the wine is crafted using traditional, non-interventionist methods: 100% whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no temperature control, and aging in oak barrels without racking or sulfur additions. The result is a profound, highly expressive Burgundy that captures the wild, untamed essence of its historic site, characterized by notes of rose petals, small red berries, and exotic spices.
🍾 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.
