This wine features alluring ripe mulberry fruit aromas with hints of minerals and spice. The texture boasts impressive ripeness and density while retaining the freshness typical of the vintage, and firm tannins carry us to a lingering finish. The wine is produced from tiny grape clusters produced from six old vine parcels in En Jouise, Carougeot, Les Murots, Les Crais, Vignes Belles, and Les Seuvrées. The grapes are destemmed and gently fermented before ageing in cask (50% new). This wine is among the top village-level Gevreys of the vintage.
About Winery
The Roy family has farmed these vineyards for four generations, beginning to bottle their own production in 1982. In 2003, Marc Roy's daughter, Alexandrine Roy, took over the winemaking and management of the estate. Representing the fourth generation, Alexandrine introduced meticulous, garden-like organic farming, reduced crop yields for deeper flavor concentration, and utilized traditional winemaking methods like foot-treading (pigeage). Today, the tiny estate is celebrated worldwide for producing exceptionally pure, vibrant, and silky Pinot Noir and a rare white Marsannay.
