DOMAINE PRIEURE ROCH - THE HISTORY
In 1988, when Domaine de la Romanée-Conti offered parcels in Vosne-Romanée for sale, the late Henry-Frédéric Roch—then co-director of DRC—purchased them himself, marking the birth of Domaine Prieuré Roch.
Inspired by his grandfather Henri Leroy—legendary founder of Maison Leroy—Roch dedicated himself to crafting the purest expressions of Pinot Noir from Burgundy's finest terroirs. His avant-garde philosophy of minimal intervention is a testament to the respect for nature, preserving the unadulterated voice of the vines.
At "DPR," viticulture is strictly organic, working exclusively with old vines (30-100 years old). Harvests occur as late as possible in multiple passes to ensure perfect ripeness and grape health. The cellar follows natural principles: whole-bunch fermentation, foot-treading, no fining or filtration, and minimal sulphur. The results are wines of extraordinary aromatic complexity and energy, with vibrant acidity and layered fruit — delicious young but built for decades of ageing. Stylistically unique and of outstanding quality, they are true to their exceptional terroirs.
A rare distinction in Burgundy, the domaine owns three prestigious monopoles: Clos des Corvées (5ha Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru), Clos des Varoilles (6ha Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru), and the jewel-like Clos Goillotte (0.55ha Vosne-Romanée) — once the private vineyard of the Prince de Conti.
With each vintage, Domaine Prieuré Roch strengthens its reputation as Burgundy's most authentic voice — ever-evolving with nature's rhythm. Today, winemaker Antonio Quari (trained under Roch and Yannick Champ) continues elevating quality while respecting the domaine's philosophy.
These are wines that speak directly to the soul, transporting us through time — a living embodiment of what the Romans called "vinum."
The Terroirs & Monopoles
CLOS GOILLOTTE MONOPOLE Vosne-Romanée
The jewel of the Domaine. Sitting beside La Tâche, this vineyard once belonged to the Prince of Conti. Reserved for family consumption for centuries, it is a Grand Cru in all but name, yielding wines of cult status and immense aging potential.
CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BÈZE Grand Cru
Founded in the 12th century, the Domaine’s 1.01-hectare plot sits at the heart of the Clos. With 85-year-old vines, it produces some of the most profound and structured Pinot Noir in the world.
CLOS DES CORVÉES MONOPOLE Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru
Exclusively owned by the Domaine, this 5.21-hectare monopole is the source of their most powerful Nuits-Saint-Georges expressions, specifically the rare "Tête de Cuvée" from millerandage grapes.
CLOS DE VOUGEOT Grand Cru
Situated in the "Terroir Royal," the Domaine’s plot features vines dating back to 1929. The gravelly soil creates a filtered, elegant expression of this historic site.
CLOS DE VAROILLES MONOPOLE Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
A recent 2020 acquisition, this site is protected by the Combe Lavaux. It provides a unique microclimate that ensures freshness and tension, even in warmer years.
LES SUCHOTS Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
The 50-year-old vines here sit on the gentle mid-slope of Vosne. Known for its "souches" (roots), this site delivers the classic aromatic complexity and energy the Domaine is famous for.
