Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Le Clos des Corvées Prieuré Roch 2021

La «cuvée»

Clos des Corvées Domaine Prieuré Roch is beautifully deep colour and has an unsettling nose full of red fruit and spices while on the palate it is full-bodied, dense and silky. As for the finish, great purity and wonderful freshness are what stand out.

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.
