Domaine Marc Roy: A Gevrey-Chambertin of Exceptional Pedigree

The Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Marc Roy is a jewel of the Côte de Nuits, meticulously overseen by fourth-generation winemaker Alexandrine Roy. Sourced from venerable 80-year-old vines, this wine captures the powerful, yet refined, essence that Gevrey is famous for. It is a true 'village' wine that often rivals its Premier Cru neighbours in complexity and longevity, offering immense pleasure now or after further cellaring.

Tasting Notes & Critical Acclaim

• Appearance: A deep, alluring ruby, promising concentration and depth.
• Aroma: The nose is complex and layered, revealing classic Gevrey notes of dark cherry and blackcurrant, evolving into hints of game, damp earth, and liquorice-a textbook example of high-quality Pinot Noir.
• Taste: Structured and full-bodied, with the firm tannins characteristic of the appellation, but rendered silky and polished by the old vines and Alexandrine's delicate winemaking. It boasts a persistent core of dark fruit and a savoury, long finish.

Food Pairing & Cellar Potential

This is a wine built for the finest dining occasions. Serve slightly cool (16°C) after decanting. It has excellent cellar potential, typically aging beautifully for 10-15+ years.

• Recommended Dishes: Beef Wellington with Duxelles, Roast Venison Loin with Juniper, Game Pie, Mature Hard Cheeses (Stilton or Aged Cheddar).
