Producer Information

Domaine Prieur Roch is something of a cult, minimal-intervention Burgundy producer with vineyard holdings throughout the Cte d’Or but mostly concentrated in Nuit-Saint-Georges. Wines are made from a number of designated appellations with Pinot Noir red wines in preponderance. However, the estate also has Chardonnay vineyards in the Cte de Beaune. The estate was founded in 1988 by Henri-Frdric Roch a member of the Leroy family and co-owner and co-director of the legendary Domaine de la Romane-Conti since 1992. The “prieur” (meaning “priory” in French) was appended by Roch himself. Prieur Roch was established with just two hectares (five acres) of vineyards divided between four different parcels in Vosne Romane. These parcels had, at the time, been sold off by Romane-Conti in order finance the acquisition of a larger portion of the Romane-Saint-Vivant site. The estate now boasts more than 14 hectares (34 acres) with a strong majority in Nuit-Saint-Georges. The domaine’s holdings include a number of highly-regarded grand and premier cru vineyards. It is arguably best known for the uncommonly large, five-hectare (12 acre) premier cru monopole, the Clos de Corves in the southern Premeaux-Prissey commune of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. Unsurprisingly, however, despite the recognition of its premier cru parcels, its grand cru wines from Chambertin-Clos-de-Bze and Clos de Vougeot command higher prices.
