FEATURES
🏰 Domaine Prieuré Roch is a renowned cult producer in Burgundy, celebrated for its minimal-intervention and outspoken biodynamic winemaking philosophy. Their methods are uncompromising, involving whole-cluster fermentation, spontaneous fermentation, and minimal sulfur use, often resulting in unfiltered wines. The 2020 Coteaux Bourguignons is affectionately described as a "vin de soif" – a thirst-quenching wine. This particular wine is a red blend, often featuring Gamay and Pinot Noir, or sometimes 100% Pinot Noir.
On the nose, this wine is vibrant and fruity, with inviting aromas of red berries, cherries, and a subtle touch of spice. It presents a light ruby color. Further aromatic complexities include smoked herbs, raspberries, strawberries, rose petals, stemmy notes, forest floor, and a medley of mixed spices. Some tasters also detect earthy, green, pine, and black tea notes, alongside its juicy and sappy fruitiness. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, and juicy, supported by supple tannins and a lively acidity that imparts energy and charm. Flavors of red fruits, candied roses, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, pepper, and undergrowth contribute to its pure, energetic, and playful character.
🥂 This is a fun, fresh, and approachable wine, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate natural winemaking and elegant, clean styles. Its cheerful and cheeky character makes it perfect for casual gatherings, as an aperitif, or simply for enjoyable everyday drinking.
🍴 It pairs wonderfully with chicken and turkey. Other suitable pairings include beef, veal, poultry, and game meats such as deer and venison.
