About the winemaker
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, grandfather of Alexandrine who today heads the vinification. Until the 1980s the grapes went to négociants, but this changed with the entry of Marc Roy in 1982. He decided to bottle himself and this was an important turning point at the domain. Alexandrine returned to the estate in 2003 after internships in Australia and New Zealand and is now making her mark, both in the vineyards and in the cellar. More attention is being paid to the vineyards, plowing is back in full swing, more is being done to reduce yields, and during the manual harvest, the work is even more meticulous. Looking at reviews at Burghound and Winehog, among others, one can say that this relatively unknown domain belongs to the top of the appellation. The truth is in the bottle!

Details
| Vineyard | No specific vineyard can be identified for this wine. The wine is only made in exceptional years and then with “millerandage” grapes, very small grapes with a lot of skin and little juice. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | After harvest, the bunches are completely destemmed and lightly crushed before the grapes are placed in a stainless steel barrel. Twice a day the grapes are trampled and after alcoholic fermentation the wine is transferred to oak barrels, 70% of which are new. The wine remains here for 12 months. |
| Vintage | 2021 |
| Oak aging | Yes |
| Ageing potential | 10 years and more after harvest |
| Alcohol percentage | 13.5% |
| Closure | Natural cork |
