FEATURES
🏰 The 2022 Prieure Roch Vosne Romanée Haute Mazieres comes from a highly respected and unconventional domaine founded in 1988 by the late Henri-Frédéric Roch, who also spent decades guiding Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Prieure Roch is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming, with low yields, whole-cluster fermentations, native yeasts, and minimal sulfur use, resulting in wines that are distinctive and terroir-expressive. The 2022 Burgundy vintage is celebrated for its consistency and quality across both red and white wines, despite a hot and dry summer. Strategic vineyard management and timely rainfall contributed to a vintage characterized by balanced ripeness, fine-grained tannins, and a classic red-fruit profile. Vosne-Romanée, in particular, escaped the excesses of late June and is "looking very good" with "some spectacular individual performances". Prieure Roch's Vosne Romanée Haute Mazieres is described as sitting lighter on its feet, offering a different angle to the estate's style. While specific tasting notes for the 2022 Haute Mazieres are still emerging, Prieure Roch's wines typically exhibit aromatic lift, red fruit, stems, spice, and a slightly wild character, with tannins that build gradually. The 2022 reds are predominantly red-fruit driven, with expressive floral notes and ripe tannins, offering a charming and forthcoming style. 【From a pioneering biodynamic domaine founded by Henri-Frédéric Roch, co-manager of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti】
