The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru 2010 from Henri Roch is showing well like the other fine 2010s from this fine Domaine. In the bouquet forward, crisp and bold – notes of raspberries, cherries, all spice and cinnamon – spiced with a nice earthy minerality. On the palate a fresh and quite transparent fruit. It offers nice midpalate weight and a lovely organic fruit – nicely focused by the fine acidity. Not in the same league as the gorgeous Argillieres .. but nevertheless a beautiful glass of pinot.

Domaine Prieuré Roch is a Burgundy producer with vineyard holdings throughout the Côte d'Or but mostly concentrated in Nuit-Saint-Goerges. Wines are made from a number of designated appellations with Pinot Noir being the flagship variety, however vineyards in the Côte de Beaune also produce Chardonnay. It was founded in 1988 by Henry-Frédéric Roch, a member of the Leroy family and co-owner and co-director of the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti since 1992.
