Prieuré-Roch Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru 2023
At Domaine Prierue Roch what matters most is not the appellation printed on
the label , but the wine itself – the purity, the energy, and the story inside every bottle.
Domaine Prieuré Roch was established by the late Henri Fedrich Roch who was up until his passing was also the Co- Director of Domaine de La Romanée Conti. He established Domaine Prieure Roch in 1988 when he acquired vineyards including the Clos Goillotte monopole in Vosne Romanee from Domaine Romanee Conti & the imposing 5.2 hectare Clos des Corvee monopole in Nuits St Georges where the Domaine’s impressive new home is situated along the famous RN 74 route des Grand Cru’s.
The 2023 vintage for Domaine Prieure Roch is regarded by Yannick Champ & cellar master Antonio Quari as a vintage that produced extremely satisfying wines with lower alcohols levels than 2022 and 2020 and given the warm summer the balance of alcohol and acidity are also very good. These 2023 wines are fruit forward with beautiful aromatics enhanced by whole cluster fermentation that will be pleasing to many.
Domaine Prieure Roch farms just over 1 hectare in this famous premier cru plot that has been leased from DRC since 1994, the vineyard adjoins the Grand Cru plot of Romanée St Vivant. One of the most seductive and silky wines produced by Prieure Roch from vines that are on average 35 years old.
