About the Wine Maker
Since its establishment in 1988, Domaine Prieuré Roch has been renowned for crafting pure, transparent wines of exceptional quality, grounded in a dedication to biodynamic agriculture and conventional winemaking techniques. Possessing coveted vineyards in some of Burgundy's most esteemed villages, including exclusive holdings like Clos des Varoilles 1er Cru and Clos de Corvées 1er Cru, the estate continues Henri Roch's tradition of profound respect for the vineyard. By adopting 100% whole cluster fermentation and indigenous yeasts, their wines are a true reflection of the terroir. The 2021 vintage posed challenges with reduced yields and early frosts, yet Domaine Prieuré Roch triumphed, yielding wines marked by modest alcohol levels, lively acidity, and the quintessential freshness of Burgundy, signaling a revival of traditional elegance and craftsmanship.
