The Prieuré Roch estate was founded in 1988 by Henri-Frédéric Roch, co-director of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and nephew of Lalou Bize-Leroy. It began with a few plots acquired in Vosne-Romanée, including the Clos Goillotte, which Roch had cherished since 1979. Following the death of Henri-Frédéric Roch in 2018, his right-hand man Yannick Champ, who had accompanied him since the early years, took over the management of the estate, perpetuating the vision and values of its founder.
