Bourgogne Rouge, Domaine Marc Roy
Burgundy can be hard work. So many villages so much vintage variation. That being said this producer has never let me down. With all his Pinot noir grapes coming from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin this is an absolute stunner of a wine. Drinks very well now but will age elegantly for many a year.

In order to produce her sublimely silky, plush, supple, transparent wines, Alexandrine works with low yielding old vines, rigorous selection, 100% destems and indigenous yeasts. Extractions are very gentle and use of new oak judicial. There are no hidden secrets. Vinified in 20% new oak, sur lie, and not racked until bottling. No malolactic this wine maintains its fresh ripe acidity.
