Vintage Character The 2020 Gevrey‑Chambertin ‘Clos Prieur’ from Domaine Marc Roy is a muscular yet refined Pinot Noir that reflects both its privileged terroir and the strengths of the vintage. The 2020 season in Burgundy was outstanding, marked by a warm, dry summer and cool nights that produced wines of concentration, ripeness, and balance. The Clos Prieur vineyard lies just below Mazis‑Chambertin Grand Cru and the premier cru section of Clos Prieur, with vines around 60 years old rooted in classic clay‑limestone soils.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this cuvée reveals aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, accented by spice and earthy minerality. The palate is taut and structured, with firm yet polished tannins and a long, savory finish. Its depth and precision make it a versatile partner for braised beef cheeks, roast duck, or aged cheeses such as Comté, offering both immediate pleasure and the potential for graceful aging.
Winery Background Domaine Marc Roy, based in Gevrey‑Chambertin, is a small, family‑run estate now led by Alexandrine Roy, the fourth generation of her family to farm these vineyards. With just 4 hectares of vines—many over 70 years old—she treats the domaine like a cherished garden, ploughing the soils and encouraging deep root systems to fully express the terroir. Her philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and careful élevage, producing wines of purity, finesse, and authenticity. The Clos Prieur bottling exemplifies her ability to craft wines that combine Gevrey’s natural power with elegance and aromatic precision, reinforcing her reputation as one of the most talented voices in the Côte de Nuits.
