Domaine Prieuré Roch

Vieilles Vignes Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

2010 vintage. Tasting with Yannick at The Domaine. Pale garnet hue. On the nose, smoky, reductive, savoury, plush black plums. Spicy. Interesting. On the palate, medium plus acidity and medium tannins - plush, medium body and medium plus concentration. Energetic and tense. Nothing round here. Good finish, with some tartness on the back of the palate. Not really my style of Burgundy but interesting. — 8 years ago

He isn’t from the best neighborhood but he plays it all off so well. He is sweet but has a dark side that I like. He is so smooth and hits all the right places at the right time. — 6 years ago

Domaine Prieuré Roch

Pinoterie Pinot Noir 2011

Brought this to a min 1er cru dinner - kinda feel bad for that, but I thought a wine consisting of all of Prieure Roch's best crus would stand tall against the rest. So darn bunchy (perplexing, given how it's made; must ask Yannick). Good, but it wasn't the flower bomb of the 10'

Note from Prieure Roch's website:
There are years where the fickleness of the weather prevent the even ripening of all the grapes on the bunches, and as the grapes cannot be harvested before the stems themselves fully ripen, on these years any extra ripe grapes will detach themselves from the stem while on the “table de tri”(sorting table). Since the traditional Burgundy vinification methods require the grapes to be fermented “entière” (in whole bunches) the loose berries are not used, despite being wonderfully ripe. However, taking all of these loose berries from every vendange, every cuve, permits us to unite all of our best crus and create one “cuvée spéciale”. This “tri” (selection) has in effect been made by the grapes themselves hence the name Pinoterie (Pinot-tri, understand the pun?). Natures choice, ripe voluptuous fruit, sheer pleasure.

Perhaps the most expensive bourgogne out there. Then again, it's a wine featuring a mix of premier cru and grand cru fruit.

Domaine Prieuré Roch

Chambertin Clos de Bèze Pinot Noir 2009

2009 vintage. At the Domaine with Yannick, the wine maker. Medium ruby hue. Earthy, masculine, manure, broad and brawny. Dark fruits - blackberry and black plum. Hints of savoury spice and white pepper. Reductive smokiness. Some old oak. Complex. On the palate, high acidity, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol and medium tannins - very plush. Textural and silky. Good concentration. Good length although some tart notes on the back of the palate. Good. Drink now until 2032+. — 8 years ago

Deep, dark, ripe Cab Franc fruit. A little smokiness and minerality. Oak still evident, but not obtrusive. Probably needs a couple more years to really hit its stride, although the apparent low acid makes me wonder how it will evolve.
