Ladoix Prieuré Roch 2020

The wine

Prieuré Roch, a Burgundy estate, has been making a name for itself among wine lovers for its rather specialised wines. This is for good reason - the winery, which is run by the grandson of the founder of Maison Leroy, is driven by growing methods that respect the environment, prioritising quality over quantity. In the cellar the same applies, with the production of “pure and sensual wines that are the product of hard work and immaculate attention”. This red Ladoix is made from Pinot Noir vines that draw their nutrients from soils composed of limestone and marl. Low yields of great quality undergo vinification in whole bunches without the addition of sulphur.
On tasting we have a wine of wonderful purity which presents an intense ruby-red colour. Notes of red fruits, cacao, sweet spices (cinnamon, clove) and violets abound. The palate is dense and structured by velvety tannins.

About the Producer Prieuré Roch

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.
