Domaine Marc Roy

Alexandrine Roy

The Domaine Marc Roy is one of the smaller domains in Gevrey-Chambertin and has about 4 hectares of vineyards. The domain was founded by Victor Roy, Alexandrine's grandfather who now directs the vinification. Until the 1980s, the grapes went to négociants, but this changed with the arrival of Marc Roy in 1982. He decided to start bottling himself and this was an important turning point on the domain. Alexandrine returned to the domain in 2003 after internships in Australia and New Zealand and is now making her mark, both in the vineyards and in the cellar. There is more attention to the vineyards, plowing is in full swing again, more is being done to reduce yields and even more meticulous work is being done during the manual harvest. If one looks at reviews at Burghound and Winehog, one can say that this relatively unknown domain belongs to the top of the appellation. The truth is in the bottle! Few winemakers are as passionate about their vineyards as Alexandrine Roy. It is her passion and her life to work in the vineyards. This is where the most important thing is done, laying the foundations for a range of stunning wines.

Alexandrine Roy

Alexandrine is the fourth generation on this domain, one of the smaller domains in Gevrey-Chambertin. Her working method is quite similar to that of her father, the man who already started selling bottled wines. The only thing that differs, according to Alexandrine, is the eye for detail. She explains this by indicating that she is a woman. Furthermore, instead of a green harvest, she has chosen to remove "shoots" much earlier to get more air in the vineyard and thus prevent too many bunches. For the domain's only white wine, Marsannay, she chooses not to let the wine undergo malolactic fermentation.

Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur 2021

The Clos Prieur is perhaps the most delicate wine of this domain. The wine has a beautiful colour and a smell and taste with spicy tones and black and red fruit. The fine complex taste also has a nice minerality and in the aftertaste fine tannins.

Gevrey Chambertin La Justice 2021

The La Justice has a smell and taste where mainly plums and dark cherries predominate. The wine has less concentration than the Clos Prieur, but is actually just finer in style. This is a Gevrey with a lot of finesse.

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
