6 bottles of Domaine Marc Roy, Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021, oc.

PRODUCER PROFILE

Since taking over from her father Marc in 2003, Alexandrine Roy has become the fourth generation
of the Roy family to cultivate vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay. Her domaine is
exceptionally small—just four hectares—but it is tended with the care and precision of a
cherished garden. Though her holdings are limited to "village" appellations, the wines
consistently defy expectations, showing a finesse, depth, and complexity more commonly
associated with premier or grand cru sites.

Alexandrine's winemaking philosophy is grounded in minimal intervention and gentle extraction,
allowing the natural character of her ancient vines to shine. The resulting wines are remarkable
for their purity, elegance, and supple, silky texture —qualities that have earned her international
recognition and admiration. Each vintage reveals a transparent expression of site, crafted with
sensitivity and a deep respect for tradition.

VITICULTURE
Sourced from old vines planted on traditional marl and limestone soils, the vineyard benefits from
sustainable practices and meticulous canopy management to ensure balance and intensity.
Hand harvesting allows selection of the best fruit to express the terroir’s purity.

WINEMAKING
Native yeast fermentation in open wooden vats preserves aromatic complexity. The wine is aged
14 to 16 months in French oak barrels, with approximately30%new oak to add subtle spice and
structure while maintaining fruit purity. Light fining and filtration ensure clarity without
compromising finesse.

TASTING NOTE
Classic Pinot Noir with a vibrant bouquet of riper ed cherry, raspberry, and delicate violet, layered
with subtle hints of forest floor, spice, and graphite. The palate is silky and well-structured,
showcasing elegant tannins and bright acidity that carry flavours of red and black fruits, a touch
of earthiness, and a mineral-driven finish. Long and poised, it reveals the maturity of old vines.

FOOD MATCHING
Herb-crusted rack of lamb, beet and goat cheese tart.
