At Gaston, we pride ourselves on offering a wine list that highlights the pinnacle of Burgundy's wine culture. One of the most revered names featured on our list is Domaine Prieuré Roch. Known for its natural winemaking techniques and deep respect for terroir, this estate produces some of the most sought-after wines in Burgundy. Established in 1988 by Henri-Frédéric Roch, co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Prieuré Roch has cemented its reputation for crafting wines that are both rare and unique.
Henri-Frédéric Roch’s vision for Domaine Prieuré Roch was clear from the start: produce wines that reflect the purity of the land without heavy intervention. The estate practices organic and biodynamic farming, relying on natural processes to maintain the health of the vineyards. In the cellar, the winemaking is gentle and minimalistic—fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts, and the wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined, preserving the true essence of the vineyard.
2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru – 1,270 SGD
A standout in the Burgundy Grand Cru lineup, this Clos de Vougeot is one of the estate's flagship wines. From the historic and prestigious Clos de Vougeot vineyard, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir offers remarkable depth and complexity, with layers of dark fruit, earth, and floral notes balanced by fine tannins and bright acidity.

2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Le Clos des Corvées" Monopole – 1,450 SGD

It is a wine of elegance and structure, showcasing the full potential of old vines and the unique terroir of the region.
