DOMAINEMARC ROY - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN This is our second vintage offering Alexandrine Roy’swines. She is the very definitionof a one-womanband at her estate. People might question where the 1er Crus are...but let us tell you that she ekes out 1er Cru quality from these lieu-dits . As she “only” has Village plots, there’s a sense she really gets themost out of her 4 hectares, paying the utmost attention in the vineyard. We couldn’t be happier to take these into stock for top top drinking in the years to come. She isn’t tied to one specific school of thought in viticulture but picks and chooses elements of biodynamics, organic and common-sense approaches. “I’mnot interested in fashions” she said. And we’re thoroughly pleased - as what she’s creating is fantastic. Her 2021s were harvested at the end of September and their finesse and freshness is a testimony to the classic style of the vintage.
