In the 2021 harvest, Domaine Prieuré Roch combined the two distinguished sections of the Clos des Corvees monopole, selecting the finest and oldest parcels, including the prized millerand berries. This exclusive blend, reminiscent of the 2016 vintage, showcases the Domaine's resilience in the face of adversity, honouring Henri Roch's vision of the Clos de Corvees as the flagship of the Prieuré Roch fleet.
The origins of Domaine Prieure Roch can be traced to 1966 when Mlle Marey-Monge leased her family’s vines in Romanée Saint-Vivant to the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – the option of ‘first refusal’ (should the holdings of the Marey-Monge estate come-up for sale) was exercised in 1988 when her heirs the Neyroud family finally sold to the Domaine. This purchase required funds beyond the reserves of the domaine so financing involved selling their vines in Echézeaux and a smaller amount in Grands Echézeaux, but retaining the use of the land on a renewable 30 year lease. The domaine also owned several plots of vines around Vosne; Henry Roch decided that he would buy these parcels himself.
