Vintage Character The 2022 Gevrey‑Chambertin ‘Clos Prieur’ from Domaine Marc Roy is a more approachable and aromatic expression of this celebrated lieu‑dit, crafted from vines over 70 years old. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was warm and generous, with steady summer heat tempered by timely rains, yielding wines of ripe fruit and supple tannins while preserving freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This cuvée opens with expressive aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, and wild strawberry, lifted by floral notes and a touch of black pepper. The palate is elegant and balanced, showing silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a mineral backbone that carries through to a velvety finish. Its refined structure makes it a versatile partner for roast lamb, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses such as Brie, offering both immediate charm and the potential to evolve gracefully with short‑term cellaring.
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 winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and careful élevage, often with a judicious use of new oak, to preserve purity and finesse. 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.
