2019 Domaine Prieure Roch Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 750ml

In 1988 Henri-Frédéric Roch, co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and grandson of Henri Leroy decided to create his own personal, exclusive domaine from some of DRC’s choicest parcels in Vosne-Romanée. The vineyards are treated organically and hold only old vines (30-100 years), the domaine harvesting as late as possible in several tries, to maximise fruit and phenolic ripeness. The wines are vinified naturally, with whole bunch fermentation and punching down by foot, followed by no fining, no filtration and very light use of sulphur.
