Domaine Prieure Roch Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Vielle Vignes 2022

Clos des Varoilles is no ordinary Gevrey — this is a historic 6-hectare monopole, now in the hands of Domaine Prieuré Roch, and it's making waves.Tucked into the northern end of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Combe Lavaux, the site’s cooler exposure tempers the power you’d expect, adding lift, wild aromatics, and fine-boned freshness.
Notes of wild herbs, game, and dark berries weave through the glass, while the palate balances richness with remarkable finesse.There’s history in these vines — dating back to the 13th century — and you can taste it in every structured, expressive sip.
A wine that delivers both the elegance and muscle of top Gevrey, with a unique brightness all its own.Truly a standout parcel with a story to match its structure.

"Powerful and earthy, this exhibits notes of black tea, dried mushroom, dried orange, bark, elderberries and cloves. Dark-fruited profile, but fresh. It’s firm on the medium- to full-bodied palate, tightly wound and chewy. Try after 2026." - James Suckling
