Producer tasting notes: (2005 vintage)
"This is a mythical wine, complex and generous, at the same time fresh and concentrated, with elegant smooth tannins." - Domaine Prieure Roch

Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy:
This exceptional, unconventional, domaine was created by the late Henri-Frédéric Roch in 1988 by buying some parcels of vineyards such as the Clos de la Goillotte that Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – of which his family is part-owner – was selling to finance the purchase of the large slice of Romanée St-Vivant Domaine Marey-Monge which it had been farming. The Prieuré part of the name has been added because Monsieur Roch liked the sound of it.

Winehog
The Roch Clos de Béze is considered as the top cuvée of the Prieuré Roch estate – but somehow not among the most well known wines from Chambertin Clos de Bèze.
