Domaine Marc Roy, Gevrey Chambertin Cuvée Alexandrine 2012

I know … should have saved this for a rainy day … but the Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée Alexandrine from Domaine Marc Roy 2012 is just too tempting. The bouquet is bursting with red berry fruit, characteristic notes of pomegranate spiced with a fine earthy minerality, violets .. quite floral and expressive for a Gevrey. On the palate lovely juicy and energetic fruit .. with lovely pomegranate flavors – 100% millerandage grapes (shot-berries). Fine weight for this level with a sweet core of fruit focused by a vibrant acidity. It’s a complex and quite intensely flavored village … gorgeous … need more!
