Domaine Prieuré Roch's 'Roses' is a legendary and highly unconventional rosé that defies the standard expectations of the category. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the estate's meticulously farmed organic parcels in the Côte de Nuits, this rare cuvée is a testament to the late Henry-Frédéric Roch's uncompromising natural winemaking philosophy. Utilizing whole-cluster fermentation, indigenous yeasts, and avoiding any added sulfur, the wine undergoes a short maceration that imparts a deep, shimmering copper-rose hue. Far from a simple summer sipper, 'Roses' is a serious, gastronomic wine. It is celebrated for its wild, expressive bouquet of crushed red berries, dried rose petals, and signature sous-bois undertones, offering a textured and vibrant palate that reflects the pure, untamed essence of Burgundian terroir.
