Clos des Argillières is Domaine Prieuré Roch’s Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru from Primeaux-Prissey, with the domaine describing a steep slope within the larger Argillières climat at the southern end of the appellation.
From the Producer
Domaine Prieuré Roch was founded in 1988 by Henry-Frédéric Roch, whose family was also part-owner and co-manager of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The estate farms around twenty hectares biodynamically across Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Ladoix and Savigny-lès-Beaune, with no synthetic products in the vineyard or cellar and whole-bunch vinification without added sulphite, now led by Yannick Champ. Of Clos des Argillières, the domaine describes a wine that oozes richness and warmth, with tannins so smooth they read as almost creamy — the sensuality and earthiness of Nuits.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal and earthy spice.
- Palate: Silky but structured Pinot Noir, with bright fruit, savoury depth and the warmth associated with Nuits-Saint-Georges.
- Finish: Long, mineral and gently earthy, with fine tannin and persistent spice.
Best For
Burgundy collectors, cellar selections and fine dining tables where grower identity and site matter as much as the vintage.
