[ALLOCATION] Domaine Prieure Roch - Vin de France Red 2022

Wine Region:Bourgogne Rouge, France

Grape: 100% Pinot noir. 

Tasting notes:

The Vin de France 2022 from Domaine Prieuré-Roch comes from parcels in Ladoix, harvested generously in 2022. Rather than reducing yields to comply with appellation regulations, the estate opted for the "Vin de France" classification, allowing an authentic expression of the terroir without interventions like green harvesting. 

This wine stands out for its vibrant and slightly wild character, with refreshing acidity and notable energy. While it exhibits a touch of volatility, it remains within pleasant limits, offering an experience true to the estate’s distinctive style. The 2022 vintage brings freshness and lightness reminiscent of the 2002 vintage, considered one of the estate’s best. 

In summary, the Vin de France 2022 from Domaine Prieuré-Roch is a delicious "vin de soif," reflecting the estate’s bold spirit and unconventional approach. It is recommended to enjoy it from 2027 onwards to fully appreciate its potential. 

About the Winery: Domaine Prieuré Roch is something of a cult, minimal-intervention Burgundy producer with vineyard holdings throughout the Côte d'Or but mostly concentrated in Nuit-Sain-Georges. Wines are made from a number of designated appellations with Pinot Noir red wines in preponderance. However, the estate also has Chardonnay vineyards in the Côte de Beaune.
