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.
