Made with Pinot Noir grapes from Burgundy, the Marc Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Village is medium-bodied and elegant, with aromas of red fruit, and fine tannins on the palate.

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

With a dark cherry color, the Marc Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Village is an elegant medium-bodied wine. It’s made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes taken from vines of older than 50 years from Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy, France. It has an ABV of 13.5%, and is counted among the top one percent of wines in the world, scoring 92 points on James Suckling.

Balanced and filled with fresh acidity, it has perfumed aromas of ripe red and black fruits. It’s refined on the palate, with pure fruity notes, spicy notes, and fine tannins.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The Marc Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Village is great to enjoy with ripe cheeses like Epoisses, a braised beef in a rich sauce, roast lamb or roast duck, or just a very good steak. If you want to continue on enjoying this through dessert, it’s wonderful with chocolate-covered strawberries, or a dark chocolate cake.

THE BURGUNDY BADASS

Alexandrine Roy is a name to watch out for. She is the fourth generation Roy to head the estate, taking over from her father, the eponymous Marc Roy. The estate itself was founded by her great-grandfather, with just a few parcels of vines in Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy.

But it is Alexandrine on which the spotlight shines presently. The face of the “New Burgundy,” she is the region’s fastest and brightest rising star, with fans and critics alike praising her wines. And it is all thanks to her immense drive and patience. She is a true farmer, maintaining only a small domaine of four hectares. She treats this like her personal garden, trekking along the vines, keeping them healthy, ploughing the soils, harvesting grapes herself, and keeping a close eye to each step of the process. She is nothing if not hands-on, and it shows brilliantly in her wines. She allows the vines to fully express themselves, showing off the incredible depth in their flavors. Though her wines come from “village” sites, a taste will have you thinking they come from premier cru or grand cru vineyards. But no, they come from the small Domaine Marc Roy, lovingly and passionately crafted by Alexandrine.
