Domaine Marc Roy - Gevrey-Chambertin "Justice" 2022

The Justice is elegant and refined with silky tannins.

Domaine Marc Roy is an impressive Domaine of only four hectares. Their wines are arguably the most accomplished of the village appellation. The “Justice” climat* and cuvée are made from a 0.33 hectare plot of vineyard. The nose is charming, powerful and elegant with hints of cherry, green tea leaves and pine.

The La Justice vineyard is located just behind the estate in the large alluvial fan from the Combe de Lavaut. This is a hedonistic, expressive wine with a delightful millerandage character. With fine minerality, and red berries gracing the mid-palate fruit, there is also a nice saline hint, a blessing from the alluvial fan. 89-90 points - Steen Ohman, WineHog.

It drinks well now but will benefit from being cellared for four to six years. You can decant it for 35 minutes before serving in its youth or it can be cellared up until 2026+. 100% Pinot Noir.

*Climat refers to a named plot of vineyard.

Technical notes

"The Gevrey-Chambertin – “Justice” from Domaine Marc Roy is one of my favourite examples of a feminine Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin. The details of aromatic and the elegant tannins are impressive."

Alexandrine Roy knows her vineyards intimately. The wine growing process is regarded as paramount at the Domaine. Vine by vine, the yields are managed to produce only small crops of healthy and concentrated grapes. She identifies the premium vines within her vineyards and exploits them in this amazing cuvée. The grapes are all “millerandées”, or naturally smaller berries than the norm. It has a greater natural concentration. After the harvest is done by hand, Alexandrine uses traditional techniques to extract the flavours of the unique terroir* of Gevrey-Chambertin from these beautiful grapes. The wine is matured in French oak barrels with half being new.

*Terroir is the specific combination of location, vineyard, climate and people that create a wine. Accordingly, different terroirs produce different wines.
