Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes Prieuré Roch 2019

The wine

This very prestigious domaine is managed by the co-proprietor and manager of the mythical Domaine la Romanée-Conti. It is entirely devoted to its terroir, taking the "natural" approach to its very limits. As a result, the wines are very refined and closely reflect their respective climats.
This Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is a selection of the oldest vines in Clos des Corvées, a 5.2-hectare parcel which was divided up in the Middle Ages and is one of the top monopoles in the region. The nose reveals a bouquet of ripe cherries and the palate has a spicy, cinnamon theme, suggesting the festive season, and well-blended mouthwatering tannins. This superb classic cuvée is simply delicious.

Domaine Prieuré Roch, created in 1988, extends over 14 hectares, along the Côte de Nuits, over a dozen climats. The Domaine applies organic methods and favours very low yields. His wines are therefore very fine and represent as closely as possible their respective climats.
