Ladoix Le Cloud White - Domaine Prieuré Roch 2019
The domain
Owned by Henry-Frédéric Roc, co-manager of Romanée Conti, the Prieuré Roch estate is one of the jewels of Nuits Saint Georges. He cultivates a small dozen hectares by applying the principles of organic farming. Yields are much lower than those usually practiced in this appellation, guaranteeing the exceptional quality of Prieuré Roch wines. The grapes of the domain Priory Roch are vinified in whole bunches, that is to say not destemmed. The domain Priory Roch cultivates small plots such as Hautes Maizières, Clos Goillote, and Les Suchots in Vose-Romanée but also grands crus such as Clos Vougeot and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. Further south, it benefits from a Nuits Saint Georges premier cru in the Clos des Corvées monopoly and a few ouvrées in the Clos des Argilières. He also acquired 2 hectares in Ladoix where he produces a white Burgundy wine and a Burgundy wine rouge.

Tasting: Located in the very north of the Côte Beaune at the foot of the Corton mountain on the edge of the Côte de Nuits, in the Ladoix Village appellation, the place called "le clou" has regained its historic name of "cloud" in entering the domain. “Le Cloud” covers 2.16 ha of which 1.68 ha is red (Pinot) and 0.49 ha white (Chardonnay). Acquired in 2010, this terroir is still being tamed according to the philosophy of Domaine Prieuré Roch. The delicious wines that come from it surprise connoisseurs a little more each year. |
