When Henry-Frédéric Roch established Domaine Prieuré Roch in 1988, he brought with him the exacting standards of DRC and a philosophy he describes not as "making" wine but as managing a natural process—listening to and stewarding the vines through the seasons. The result is a collection of wines so vibrant and refined that they've become emblematic of what's possible when tradition and minimal intervention are practiced with vision and humility.

At 13 hectares, Les Suchots is the largest Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanée, with about a hectare of those vines—averaging 50 years old—tended by the domaine. The domaine describes it as "the classic Vosne-Romanée: supple and silky, consistent in its vintages.”

2022 posed myriad challenges in the vineyard, from drought to labor shortages, but the quality of the resulting grapes (and wine) was exceptional. In fact, 2022 has been compared to 2002, famously one of the domaine’s best. Critic James Suckling awarded this 96 points. Expect classic Vosne aromatics: red cherry, wild strawberry, and violet, lifted by clove, silver needle tea, and the faintest hint of Ceylon cinnamon. Only 5000 bottles produced. It’s gorgeous now and will drink even more magnificently over the next 15-20 years.
