✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Prieur Roch's 'Rouge' represents the purest entry point into the estate's avant-garde, natural winemaking philosophy. Sourced from meticulously tended biodynamic parcels, this cuv e is crafted using ancient, non-interventionist methods resurrected by the late Henry-Fr d ric Roch. The winemaking process is uncompromising: 100% whole-cluster fermentation in open oak vats, reliance entirely on native yeasts, no temperature control, and no added sulfur. This traditional approach produces a wine of remarkable energy and transparency, characterized by its wild, stemmy aromatics, notes of crushed rose petals, tart red berries, and a vibrant, mineral-driven palate that showcases the raw beauty of Burgundy.
