Coteaux Bourguignons Gamay Prieuré Roch 2022
The wine
This wine comes from the Côteaux Bourguignons, where south- and south-east-facing Gamay vines send their roots deep into clay-limestone soils to draw the nutrients they need to thrive. These soils impart lightness, freshness and tension, while the slopes contribute ripeness and aromatic intensity. The grapes are harvested by hand with meticulous sorting in the vineyard. In the winery, fermentation takes place in stainless-steel vats with native yeasts, and the fruit undergoes a short maceration. Ageing is carried out mainly in vats, on fine lees for six months, with no new oak and minimal sulphur.
In the glass, the wine displays a brilliant, clear ruby hue. The expressive nose is characterised by fresh red fruit, lifted by floral notes and a subtle peppery touch. On the palate, the wine is light and moreish, perfectly balanced by lively acidity that brings freshness and tension.
Domaine Prieuré Roch extends over 14 hectares along the Côte de Nuits, spanning around a dozen climats. It was led by Henry-Frédéric Roch, sadly dead in November 2018, grandson of Henry Leroy, founder of Maison Leroy and co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti alongside Aubert de Villaine. Yannick Champ, who joined the estate in 2002, became co-director in 2010.
The vineyard holdings include some of the Côte de Nuits’ most coveted sites: Nuits-Saint-Georges premier crus, Clos Goillotte, Les Hautes-Maizières and Les Suchots in Vosne-Romanée, as well as grand crus including Clos de Vougeot and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. In the Côte de Beaune, the estate also has vines in Ladoix and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The estate owns three monopole vineyards: Clos des Corvées (Nuits-Saint-Georges premier cru), Clos des Varoilles (Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru) and Clos Goillotte (Vosne-Romanée).
Viticulture follows organic principles with deliberately low yields. In the winery, fermentations are natural, carried out with whole bunches and without added sulphur. The resulting wines combine striking finesse and deliver a remarkable faithful expression of their respective climats. Today, they are widely regarded among Burgundy’s finest wines.
