Situated in the commune of Primeaux-Prissey at the South of the appellation, Clos des Argillières counts among 41 Premier Crus of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. It is part of the larger ‘climat’ (plot) known as “Argillières”. It adjoins Clos des Corvées and is distinguished by its’ steep slope which at its’ highest touches the cap rock. When it became part of Domaine Prieuré Roch in 2009, the plot was already being cultivated organically for several years and so easily found its’ place among the most expressive “terroirs” of the domaine.
THE WINE
-
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Argillières
A wine that oozes richness and warmth, tannins so smooth, almost creamy. The sensuality and earthiness of Nuits.
