2023 Domaine Prieure Roch Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes 750ml

About This Wine

This is the fourth harvest from Domaine Prieuré Roch’s expansion into Gevrey-Chambertin.

The vineyard comprises a 6-hectare monopole, one of the largest monopoles in the Côte de Nuits.

Two bottlings are produced from the site, with the Vieilles Vignes sourced from parcels receiving greater sun exposure, resulting in a more robust and fruit-forward expression.

The monopole’s location, sheltered by the Combe Lavaux, contributes remarkable freshness even in periods of extreme heat.

The 2022 vineyard was affected by a severe hailstorm in June, requiring rigorous hand sorting to ensure only the cleanest fruit reached the winery.

The wine combines the character and power of a Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru with the signature style of Domaine Prieuré Roch.
