The Corvées is Prieuré Roch’s signature Cru and is also the vineyard that produces the Nuits 1er VV and Nuits 1er. The Corvées is made exclusively with ‘millerandé’ berries from only the oldest vines. This labour of love produces a super concentrated and textured, seductive Nuits. Whilst really quite powerful it is harmoniously balanced.

Domaine Prieuré Roch is a Burgundy producer with vineyard holdings throughout the Côte d'Or but mostly concentrated in Nuit-Saint-Goerges. Wines are made from a number of designated appellations with Pinot Noir being the flagship variety, however vineyards in the Côte de Beaune also produce Chardonnay. It was founded in 1988 by Henry-Frédéric Roch, a member of the Leroy family and co-owner and co-director of the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti since 1992.
