Alexandrine Roy represents the fourth generation of her family to cultivate their holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay. This petite domaine, encompassing just four hectares, is tended with the care and precision one might give to a cherished garden. A dedicated farmer, Alexandrine meticulously ploughs the soils of her venerable vineyards—many over a century old—enabling the roots to penetrate deeply into the shallow limestone. The wines produced from these lovingly tended plots exhibit remarkable purity and elegance, earning global acclaim for the domaine. Through minimal intervention and gentle extraction, Alexandrine allows her ancient vines to reveal profound depth of flavor and crystal-clear expression. For those yet to discover her work—though their numbers dwindle each year—Burgundy seldom reaches the pristine, utterly delicious heights found in Alexandrine Roy’s extraordinary wines.

The Domaine Marc Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, crafted from vines over 70 years old, is a testament to her artistry. This wine is both elegant and structured, showcasing notes of red fruit and delicate florals. Alexandrine’s deft touch in vinification results in wines of remarkable purity, suppleness, and silky texture. She destems 100%, employs oak sparingly, and prioritizes purity and elegance over sheer power.

The wine is a harmonious balance of dark red fruit and hints of raspberries, all set against a rustic backdrop of earthy mushroom notes.
