The result is a beautifully composed wine whose elegance is matched by remarkable vineyard character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 70 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iron-rich clay over limestone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Farming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable vineyard management, including soil cultivation and careful yield control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-harvested and carefully selected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully destemmed grapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts and gentle extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation Vessel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 months in French oak barrels, comprising 50% new oak and 50% one-year-old barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\/ Owner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alexandrine Roy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn expressive bouquet of raspberry, redcurrant and ripe cherry unfolds alongside darker plum notes, delicate florals and subtle spice. Hints of black pepper, woodland earth and crushed stone introduce an appealing savoury dimension. The medium-bodied palate is poised and energetic, revealing pure red fruit, lively acidity and finely woven tannins. A discreet oak influence lends texture without obscuring the wine's mineral definition, while the elegant, persistent finish carries notes of spice and stony freshness. Refined rather than imposing, this is a beautifully layered Gevrey-Chambertin with both immediate charm and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Accolades:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90–92 Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2024, barrel-sample assessment of the 2022 vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Marc Roy is a small family-owned estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, with approximately four hectares of vineyards divided among a dozen parcels. Representing the family's fourth generation, Alexandrine Roy oversees the domaine with the continued support of her father, Marc, whose work helped establish its reputation. Although the estate holds no Grand Cru vineyards, its carefully tended village sites consistently produce wines of exceptional finesse and depth. Alexandrine places particular emphasis on vineyard health, soil cultivation, low yields and meticulous fruit selection, followed by gentle extraction and indigenous fermentation in the cellar. Her approach preserves the purity of Pinot Noir while allowing the character of each vineyard to emerge with clarity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at 15–17°C in a Burgundy glass to showcase its aromatic detail and silky texture. When enjoyed young, allow approximately 30–45 minutes of aeration to reveal its layered fruit and savoury complexity. An excellent partner for roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, guinea fowl, wild mushroom risotto or veal with a delicate jus. Approachable now, the wine also offers rewarding cellaring potential through 2035 and potentially beyond under suitable storage conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buena Vida Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"2022 \/ 750mL","offer_id":67588539318327,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Domaine_Marc_Roy_Clos_Prieur_Gevrey-Chambertin_Premier_Cru_France_2022.png?v=1792126479","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/domaine-marc-roy-2022-gevrey-chambertin-clos-prieur","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
