Histoire du domaine
Henry-Frédéric Roch founded Domaine Prieuré Roch in 1988. He gradually developed the vineyard using cultivation and winemaking methods that avoid synthetic products. Shortly after the estate was founded, he acquired the Clos Goillotte, a 0.55-hectare plot situated in Vosne-Romanée. The estate now comprises around 20 hectares of vineyards spread across Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Ladoix and Savigny-lès-Beaune. Yannick Champ met Henry-Frédéric Roch in 2002, before joining the estate as cellar master in 2005. He became estate manager in 2008 and co-manager in 2010. Following the death of Henry-Frédéric Roch in November 2018, Yannick Champ took over the management of the estate. Antonio Quari is designated by the estate as head winemaker, responsible for overseeing winemaking and ageing. The business is currently owned by Financière Henry R. and Chrystelle Roch, whilst Yannick Champ also serves as managing director.
Clos des Corvées
Le Clos des Corvées is a Premier Cru classified climat of the AOC Nuits-Saint-Georges, located in Premeaux-Prissey. It constitutes a single-piece monopole walled vineyard and corresponds to a part of the cadastral lieu-dit Aux Corvées, in section B4. It is distinct from the neighboring climats Clos des Corvées Pagets and Clos Saint-Marc, which also originate from parts of Aux Corvées. The soil, exposure, and geology descriptions available at the general appellation scale do not allow these characteristics to be specified as unique to this clos.

- Origin of the vineyard name
- "Corvées" refers to the days of unpaid labor owed by peasants to the lord under the feudal system; "Clos" here designates a walled vineyard.

Histoire de la parcelle
The clos, fragmented in the Middle Ages, was gradually recomposed by the family associated with the Geisweiler trading house in the 19th century, then by General Denis Joseph Gouachon at the beginning of the 20th century. The estate indicates that a final plot was reunited in 1931, giving the clos its modern configuration. Its southern boundary runs along the chemin des Dalles, used as early as the 10th century by the monks of Saint-Vivant-sous-Vergy and likely following the route of an ancient Roman road.
